Summary

A refined view of mineralogy and the spectroscopic study of the fallen Slobodka is presented, and this research has been conducted to complete the study of this thesis. The meteorite is an L4 ordinary chondrite. The thin section of the meteorite highlights the features that indicate a shock impact, including a shock melt vein. To the best of our knowledge, it is reported for the first time in this meteorite, a shock vein containing four high-pressure polymorphs, albitic jadeite, majorite, wadsleyite, and tuite. After studying the characteristics of the sample, it is concluded that Slobodka is a shocked sample with shock stage S4.
