Deformation microstructures in zircon and monazite: implications for shock, tectonic and geochronological studies

Zircon and monazite have been studied by quantitative microstructural analysis to constrain deformation processes in both tectonic and shock environments. Results provide new constraints on twinning, shock transformation to high pressure polymorphs and the conditions of formation of impact microstru...
