Gabbro slabs (5 mm thick) were accelerated to 1.5-2 Ian sec " and impacted gabbro, novaculite, and porous sandstone targets at inclination angles of 30deg-60. The mass of the ejected particles per unit area (50 mg cm-2) of the impactor remains almost independent of the impact velocity, inclination angle, thickness of the target and sampie mineralogy, and density.
