1.1 Definition

Talc carbonate is nothing but a rock sequence or a mineral composition found in metamorphic ultramafic rocks.

During the impact melted material forming a breccia containing glass and crystal or lithic fragments together form Suevite rock.

5 Formation

5.1 Formation

Due to change in environmental conditions, rocks are heated and pressurized deep inside the Earth's surface. Talc Carbonate is formed from the extreme heat caused by magma or by the intense collisions and friction of tectonic plates.

Suevite is a metamorphic rock consisting partly of melted material, typically forming a breccia containing glass and crystal or lithic fragments, formed during an impact event.
