OVERVIEW On Earth, natural glasses are typically produced by rapid cooling of melts, and
as in the case of minerals and rocks, natural glasses can provide key information on the …

High velocity impacts produce melts that solidify as ejected or in-situ glasses. We provide a
review of their peculiar magnetic properties, as well as a new detailed study of four glasses …

Tektites are terrestrial impact-generated glasses that are ejected long distance (up to 11,000
km), share unique characteristics and have a poorly understood formation process. Only four …

Abstract High resolution 40 Ar–39 Ar step heating dating of australites and indochinites,
representing a large area of the Australasian strewn field, and more recently discovered …

We present a comprehensive overview of the magnetic properties of the four known tektite
fields and related fully melted impact glasses (Aouelloul, Belize, Darwin, Libyan desert and …

Fe redox and water content of impact melt are important parameters as they can greatly
affect melt density and viscosity which, in turn, are important parameters greatly affecting the …
