How does recorded temperature changes upon impact shock? Anna Barbaro and co-authors estimated temperature by a graphite-thermometer based on micro-raman spectroscopy data, on 5 ureilitic fragments (FRO 95028, FRO 01089, FRO 97013, FRO 01088 and...
Read moreAre you working with mixed-phase inclusions?
Are you working with mixed-phase inclusions? Ross J. Angel and co-authors finally provide the recipes to work out the elastic response of mixed-phase inclusions. Their study published in the European Journal of Mineralogy presents the theory of...
