Scientific paper

The aim of the study is to show effects of impact metamorphism in carbonate sedimentary rock sequences of the Steinheim Crater as revealed in X-ray powder diffraction patterns. The Steinheim Basin in Southern Germany (latitude 48 deg 02 min N, longitude 10 deg 04 min E) lies in carbonate sedimentary lithologies of the Swabian Alb. We have chosen unshocked Upper Malmian limestone from Solenhofen as a reference material and a country rock containing shatter cones found near Steinheim on the slopes of the crater central feature as a typical representative of shocked lithology.
