Scientific paper

The effect of shock loading over the pressure range of 29-59 GPa on the shock-recovered specimens of antigorite serpentine, Mg3Si2O5(OH)4, were investigated employing infrared (IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and optical and scanning electron microscopy. With increasing shock pressure, there was an increase in H2O IR absorption peaks at the expense of OH peaks, while the changes in SiO bond vibration modes were identical to those seen for other, nonhydrous minerals. Thermogravimetric results on vented assembly samples showed linear relationships between the shock pressure and both the length of dehydration interval and the effective activation energy for releasing post-shock structural water. Optical and scanning electron microscopy revealed gas bubbles, which appeared to be injected into zones of partial melting, and vesicular dark veins distributed throughout the shocked samples. It is suggested that shock loading of hydrous minerals would release and redistribute free water in the regoliths of carbonaceous chondrite parent bodies, giving rise to observed hydrous alterations.
