“…Because of the multiple reflections of the shock wave from grain boundaries with different impact impedance and because the distribution of the shock wave energy between phases is controlled by their vol umetric proportions in the rock (Kuropatenko, 2005;Feldman et al, 2006aFeldman et al, , 2006b, by no means all min eral grains in this zone become melted, and many grains, first of all, those near the outer boundary of the zone, are either not melted at all or are melted only partly. Their diaplectic transformations gradually increase, as is pronounced primarily in increasing degree of the migration of elements and increasing degree of distortions in crystal structures (Kozlov et al, , 1998aFeldman et al, 2000;Feldman et al, 2006aFeldman et al, , 2006bFeldman et al, , 2007.…”
