Shock-wave instrumentation provides an approach to studying the phase transformation in the Jilin meteorite during shock compression. Experimental Hugoniot points for the meteorite are analyzed by a least-squares method to fit the Birech-Murnaghan or Murnaghan equation of state. A method is proposed for estimating the zero-pressure parameter. Experimental results show that high-pressure phase mineral assemblages are present. The zero-pressure density is 4.395 g/cu cm. It is concluded that there is a perovskite structure mineral with a zero-pressure density of 6.30 g/cu cm. It appears that the dense silicate in the meteorite has a density sufficiently high to be compatible with that of lower mantle mineral assemblages at zero pressure.
