[meteorite-list] Impact melted specimens or re-heated ?

Sat Apr 16 19:00:41 EDT 2005

I have different kind question about impact craters.

In Morasko was found some specimens with destroyed Windmanstätten pattern or
only with thin 1-2 mm  recrystalized zone. Now its question, they was
destroyed by impact ? What happend to specimens with regmaglyptes ? They
cant be smashed by impact, becuse they are complete specimens.

So if its possible that they was re-heated insine of big hot clound that was
make from a huge impact ? Its possible ? Anyone make this kind of research
on Canyon Diablo specimens ?
