Abstract
Summary: The Ergheo meteorite was inspected both by transmitted and reflected light in order to look for evidence of shock metamorphism by petrological observations. The stone is a well-recrystallized olivine-hypersthene chondrite that shows features of severe fracturing, prominent veining, and diffused cracking. The presence of several shock-transformed components is described in some detail. Ergheo is a meteorite that suffered particularly by shock in full agreement with Heymann's (1967) and Turner's (1968) statements.Keywords
