Vertical profiling of shock attenuation at the Rochechouart impact structure, France

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Rochechouart, south‐west France, is a complex impact structure. Here, we present the first report of shock barometry of quartz from what are likely parautochthonous basement units at depth, based on samples from the 2017 C.I.R.I.R drilling campaign. The crystallographic orientations of 725 sets of PDFs in 512 quartz grains in samples from four

Static recrystallization of shocked calcite in Ries impact breccias

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Calcite is prone to chemical and microstructural modifications, especially after having been strained at high stresses and strain rates, as during hypervelocity impact events. These modifications include precipitation from pore fluid as well as replacement of strained volumes by recrystallization. In calcite aggregates of a metagranite breccia

Combining universal‐stage, backscatter electron imaging and electron backscatter diffraction for improved indexing of planar microstructures in quartz and plagioclase

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Quartz and feldspar commonly develop planar microstructures due to shock metamorphism. These are generally investigated and indexed (identifying the crystallographic orientation along which they developed) using a universal stage (U‐stage) on a petrographic microscope.

Microbial mats in dinosaur ichnocoenoses

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Until now, the significance of microbial mats in preservation of dinosaur tracks and in reconstructing the palaeoenvironment in which dinosaurs roamed was rarely studied. Dinosaur tracks are commonly found close to ancient aquatic bodies where moist sediment had once allowed footstep registration.

Microbial mats and thalassinid shrimp: Spatial and geochemical interactions in a modern intertidal environment

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research examines the spatial and geochemical interactions between mat‐forming microorganisms and thalassinid shrimp in an intertidal flat situated on the shores of Willapa Bay, Washington, USA. The study serves as a contemporary analog for the relationships between mats and burrowing organisms in deep time.
