Shock metamorphism of clay minerals on Mars by meteor impact

Abstract A large fraction of clay minerals detected on Mars by infrared remote sensing represent materials exhumed from the subsurface by meteor impact, begging the question of whether the infrared features used to detect the clays are affected by shock associated with the impacts. We used X‐ray dif...
