Suizhou Meteorite: Mineralogy and Shock Metamorphism
This book introduces the unusual shock-related mineralogical features of the shocked Suizhou L6 (S5) meteorite. The olivine and pyroxene in Suizhou display a mosaic shock feature, while most of plagioclase grains have transformed to glassy maskelynite. A

Preface
The Suizhou meteorite is a stone meteorite, which fell on April 15, 1986, in Dayanpo, 12.5 km in the southeast of the Suizhou city, Hubei province, China. Right after the fall of this meteorite, a group of scientists from the China University of Geosciences and the Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, conducted field survey and collection of Suizhou meteorite samples. A total weight of 270 kg of this meteorite was collected. The largest piece, a fragment of 56 kg in weight, is now preserved in the City Museum of Suizhou, and the smallest piece only weighs 20 g. This group of scientists headed by Professor Wang Renjing and Li Zhaohui then conducted a series of study on collected samples and published a monograph entitled “The synthesized study of the Suizhou meteorite” (in Chinese with an English abstract) in 1990. They classified t
