  We carried out laser shock experiments and wholly recovered shocked olivine
and quartz samples. We investigated the petrographic features based on optical
micrographs of sliced samples and found that each recovered sample comprises
three regions, I (optically dark), II (opaque) and III (transparent). Scanning
electron microscopy combined with electron back-scattered diffraction shows
that there are no crystal features in the region I; the materials in the region
I have once melted. Moreover, numerical calculations performed with the iSALE
shock physics code suggest that the boundary between regions II and III
corresponds to Hugoniot Elastic Limit (HEL). Thus, we succeeded in the recovery
of the entire shocked samples experienced over a wide range of pressures from
HEL (~ 10 GPa) to melting pressure (~ 100 GPa) in a hierarchical order.
