Abstract

We have obtained shock compression data for Murchison and Bruderheim chondritic meteorites. Data for Murchison suggest that the Hugoniot states are described by a smooth curve to ≥90 GPa, having ρ_0=2.656 Mg/m^3, K_(S0)=24.2±.7 GPa, K′=4.17±.10, and constant γ=1.0. The data for Bruderheim suggest more complicated behavior. A mineral mixture model consistent with the Bruderheim data suggests that the Hugoniot state is a low pressure phase below 25 GPa, with ρ_0=3.555 Mg/m^3, K_(S0)=146 GPa, K′=2.53, and constant ργ=7.11 Mg/m^3; and a high pressure phase above 65 GPa, with ρ_0=4.40 Mg/m^3, K_(S0)=225 GPa, K′=3.25, and constant ργ=7.485 Mg/m^3.
