An impactite is a rock formed by meteorite, asteroid, or comet impact on Earth. Impactites are usually composed mostly of material from the impact site, often called target rock. This material often suffers shock metamorphosis, which happens when a high-pressure shock wave goes through target rock. The pressure may be as high as over 400 GPa at the impact point. This is enormous pressure. By comparison, volcanic and tectonic events on Earth generally produced pressures below 1 GPa. An impactite may also contain some anomalies, extraterrestrial materials, such as iridium (Ir).
