Volatilization during an impact is a “non linear” process:
- volatilization of elements is dominated by formation of clusters which assemble elements having different “classic” volatility (“enstatite”, “netheline”, “wollastonite”, … clusters);
- thermal and chemical reduction of iron with subsequent agglomeration of iron droplets and their dispersion from silicate melts;
- scavenging of siderophile elements from silicate melts into forming and dispersing metallic droplets;
- observed high volatility of “classically” refractory elements such as REE, U, Th, Hf, Zr, etc.
- LP spherules- "pristine" glasses- average target- Murchison - Ti - basalt

Conclusions:
- the usage of siderophile elements is a powerful tool as an indicator of the presence of meteoritic material but it can provide an underestimation of proportion of the projectile in the impact melt;
- we need an involvement of computational methods into the problem of projectile/target mixing.
