Transient High-Temperature Processing of Silicates in Fulgurites as Analogues for Meteorite and Impact Melts
Abstract
A fulgurite from the Sahara yielded petrographic data valuable as an analogue for highly reduced meteorite and impact melts, including iron silicide formation, devolatilization features, zircon melting and extreme melt heterogeneity.
