Deformation textures (i. e. fracturing, plastic deformation, recrystallization, vitrification, phase transforma-tion, and melting) in naturally and artificially shocked mineral crystals have been reported. The main part of this report is devoted to a description of the shock-induced residual effects in olivine and orthopyroxene crystals recovered from shock experiments by transmission electron microscopic observation. Deformation textures in naturally shocked olivine crystals from some meteorites were also described.
