Dendritic Reidite from Chesapeake Bay Ejecta at ODP Site 1073, Offshore New Jersey, USA: A Hallmark of Distal Impact Ejecta?
Abstract
We report the first occurrence of a dendritic habit for reidite, a high-pressure ZrSiO4 polymorph, found in distal ejecta from the Chesapeake Bay impact structure. We speculate that it may be a unique indicator of distal ejecta.
