Scientific paper

A large variety of objects in chondritic meteorites formed as a result of impact melting: shock veins, metal-troilite mixtures, metal and sulfide nodules, melt pockets, vugs, agglutinates, glassy and crystalline spherules, and numerous types of melt-rock clasts. The type of object produced in an impact event is related to the interaction of the shock waves with the particular target rock. Impact melting has also affected large portions of several chondrite breccias. Some workers have suggested that various iron meteorites were formed from individual impact melt pools in chondritic regoliths. The Eagle Station Trio pallasites and several ungrouped meteorites may have formed from impact-melted chondritic material. It is also possible that the parent magmas of ureilites were derived from impact-melted metal-rich cabonaceous chondrite material.
