Shock vaporization experiments were carried out for 30% porous anhydrite up to 76 GPa. Shocked fully or partially vaporized samples interact with overlying LiF windows whose velocity histories are monitored using a velocity ...
Discovery of abundant anhydrite (CaSO4) and gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) in the otherwise carbonate sediment comprising the upper 3 km thick layer of the target rock at the K/T impact site has prompted research on these minerals. ...
