   Keywords : EBSD; SEM; shocked quartz; quartz; CPO; seismic velocity; anisotropy; Chicxulub; impact crater; pole figures; MTEX toolbox; microstructural features; planar deformation feature; planar fracture; feather features;

   Abstract : As one of the most common minerals in crustal rocks, quartz has been widely used as an indicator for shock metamorphism. Shocked quartz is found in the Chicxulub impact crater, an impact crater that has been linked to the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction ~66 million years ago. READ MORE

3. 2. Impactites from the Hiawatha crater, North-West Greenland

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper

   Author : Jacob Gustafsson; [2020]
   Keywords : Hiawatha; impact crater; Cape York; Baffin Bay; Greenland Ice Sheet; Younger Dryas; meteorite; impactite; organic carbon; conifer; vitrinite reflectance; Ro; cellular texture; chromite; chromium isotope; toasted quartz; ballen quartz; melted carbonate; granular zircon; planar deformation feature;

   Abstract : The recent discovery of the 31-km-wide Hiawatha impact crater has raised unanswered questions about its age, impactor and highly unusual organic carbon component. Previous research suggests a fractionated iron meteorite impactor, a probable maximum 3–2.4 Ma impact age and a possible Younger Dryas impact age. READ MORE
