Identification and provenance determination of distally transported, Vredefort-derived shocked minerals in the Vaal River, South Africa using SEM and SHRIMP-RG techniques
The record of meteorite impacts on Earth is incomplete due to the destruction of impact craters by erosion and burial. Shocked minerals residing in sediments may help further document the impact record. To evaluate the survival of shocked minerals in fluvial systems we investigated ~10,000 sand grai...
