Impact-Induced Twinning in Calcite as Revealed by MEMIN Experiments with Marble
Abstract
Twin density in shocked calcite exceeds 1000 twins per millimeter and changes the optical properties of the crystals. The relationship between micro-twin density and shear stress matches with calcite twin piezometers derived for tectonic deformation.
