Less is known about how shock is manifest in other minerals such as double chain inosilicates, phyllosilicates, carbonates and sulfates. In this study, we investigate shock in crystalline basement rocks from the Steen River impact structure (SRIS), a 25-km diameter complex crater in NW Alberta, Canada.95.48 KBPDFenAll Rights Reservedshockcrystalline basement rocksimpact structuresA previously unrecognized example of the shock-induced breakdown of biotite to garnet from the Steen River impact structure, CanadaPresentation
