Abstract

Shock quartz (shock metamorphic quartz) occurs in the processes of shock metamorphism or
impact metamorphism. Shock metamorphism or impact metamorphism describes the effects of shock-wave related
deformation and heating during impact events. The formation of similar features during explosive volcanism is gener�ally discounted due to the lack of metamorphic effects unequivocally associated with explosions and the difficulty in
reaching sufficient pressures during such an event. The paper presents the results of examinations on a sample from the
archaeological locality Stobi and they indicate that it is a shock quartz, occurrence of spherical shapes in the sample.
