The Santa Fe impact structure is partly within metamorphosed Proterozoic granitoid (1.7 - 1.4 Ga) about 8 km northeast of Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. Well-developed shatter cones that contain shocked quartz confirm that this granitoid was modified by shock pressure during the impact event.The motivation of this study was to investigate the Natural Remanent Magnetization (NRM) of impacted rocks as a result of the shock delivered by meteorite impact.
