A pressure-temperature phase diagram for zircon at extreme conditions

Hypervelocity impact processes are uniquely capable of generating shock metamorphism, which causes mineralogical transformations and deformation that register pressure (P) and temperature (T) conditions far beyond even the most extreme conditions created by terrestrial tectonics. The mineral zircon...
