| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our research proposal aimed to resolve “Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) hypothesis” originally proposed from studies of the Moon, using detrital shocked-zircon in the metasedimentary rock, western Australia. Hugh amount of zircon separation and high-reliability age dating techniques are developed and the results are published in international journals, respectively. Related topics about the early Earth environment, we present oral presentation (invited) at international and domestic conferences.
Main research finding in our proposal is below; four types of shock-metamorphosed zircons were identified; (1) curvi-planar (non-planar) feature, (2) multiple sets of planar feature, (3) partly granular (polycrystalline) texture, and (4) fully granular texture. Of these four, multiple sets of planar feature are proved for diagnostic evidence for impact origin, and now observed as annealed (decorated) planar feature, probably due to post-impact thermal heating or regional metamorphic overprint.
