Claim: Reidite, a mineral named after Alan F. Reid, is commonly associated with meteorite impacts and has been found in seven crater impacts.
Evidence: Reidite is a very rare mineral created when zircon undergoes high pressure and temperatures. Reidite is named after the scientist who first created the high pressure phase in the laboratory in 1969, Alan F. Reid. It is commonly associated with meteorite impacts. On Earth, reidite has been found only in seven crater impacts: the Chesapeake Bay Crater in Virginia; Ries Crater in Germany; Xiuyan Crater in China; Woodleigh Crater in Western Australia; Rock Elm Crater in Wisconsin; and Dhala Crater in India and Pantasma crater in Nicaragua.
