Experimental Constraints on the Ordinary Chondrite Shock Darkening Caused by Asteroid Collisions
Abstract
Shock darkening is caused by two distinct mechanisms with characteristic pressure regions, which are separated by an interval where the darkening ceases. This implies a reduced amount of shock-darkened material produced during the asteroid collisions.
