Hypervelocity impacts are among the fundamental phenomena occurring during the
evolution of the solar system and are characterized by instantaneous ultrahigh pressure and …

Significant recent discoveries of a large group of high-pressure (HP) minerals are reviewed.
These minerals can be classified into two genetic types: those formed in shocked meteorites …

Defining high-pressure (P) and high-temperature (T) minerals beyond vague conventions
requires robust criteria. The conjunction of mineralogy and (mantle-) geochemistry suggests …

The electrical conductivities of iron-bearing minerals are important for understanding the
chemical and thermal heterogeneity of the Earth's mantle. Recent high-pressure …

We report the discovery of TiO2-II in the unmelted rock of the shocked Suizhou L6 chondrite.
Natural TiO2-II was previously found in ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic and mantle-derived …

The Suizhou meteorite is a heavily shocked and melted vein-containing L6 chondrite. It
contains a minor amount of diopside with a (Ca0. 419Mg0. 466Fe0. 088) SiO3 composition …

In this study, we report the discovery of a novel high-pressure phase within the Suizhou
shocked meteorite, shedding light on the extreme conditions encountered during meteorite …

Copper possesses very strong chacophile properties, but under the conditions found in
meteorites, its behavior is like that of siderophile elements. The Suizhou meteorite is a highly …

(Courtesy Miyahara); Lower: Collision of planetesimals (Courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech); …

In this issue of New Mineral Names, a thematic approach is used to help provide context for
advances and discoveries in mineralogy. Recovered high-pressure minerals are not …
