Hugoniot equation of state of twelve rocks

Shock-wave data have been obtained for the following rocks: one albitite, one anorthosite, two bronzitites, two diabases, two dunites, two eclogites, one granite, and one Jadeite. The experimental pressure range is from slightly over 0.1 to about 1.0 Mb. There is evidence that all rocks investigated exhibit a phase change. It is estimated that the transformations occur at about 0.1 Mb for the low-density rocks and between 0.3 and 0.6 Mb for the high-density rocks. A single-shock Hugoniot consistent with the data has been determined for the high-pressure modification of some of these rocks. These equations of state are compared with similar equations of state derived from geophysical data for the earth. This comparison supports the model of a mantle composed of high-pressure modifications of these basic rocks with an iron content lying somewhere between that of Twin Sisters dunite and Hortonolite dunite. Other thermodynamic quantities have been calculated based on estimates of the specific heat and the Gruneisen parameter.
