Abstract
Our data demonstrate that a systematic multi-stage microstructural evolution in baddeleyite results from a single cycle of shock-loading, heating and cooling during transit to space, and that this leads to variable disturbance of the U-Pb isotope system. Furthermore, by linking in-situ U-Pb isotopic measurements with detailed micro- to nano-structural analyses, it is possible to resolve the timing of both endogenic crustal processes and impact events in highly-shocked planetary materials using baddeleyite. This opens up new opportunities to refine the timing of major events across the Solar System.
