About ImpactiteHide

Rocks affected by one or more hypervelocity impact(s) resulting from collision(s) of planetary bodies.

The term is most commonly used for Impact-melt-rock, a vesicular, glassy to finely crystalline material produced by fusion or partial fusion of target rock by the heat generated from the impact of a large meteorite, and occurring in and around the resulting crater, typically as individual bodies composed of mixtures of melt and rock fragments, often with traces of meteoritic material; a rock from a presumed impact site.

The term also includes any shock-metamorphosed rock, including various breccias and tektites.
