Category:Impact event minerals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Minerals associated with impact events, generally caused by alteration of impacted rock.
- Minerals within meteorite fragments are excluded as they have Category:Meteorite minerals.
- Some such as Iridium are included here because widespread dust due to impact seems different from meteorite fragments.
- Shatter cone and Planar deformation features are not included due to being structures which form within minerals rather than being considered a mineral.
