A new class of solutions of the Einstein field equations in sphericalsymmetry is found. The new solutions are mathematically described as themetrics admitting separation of variables in area-radius coordinates.Physically, they describe the gravitational collapse of a class of anisotropicelastic materials. Standard requirements of physical acceptability aresatisfied, in particular, existence of an equation of state in closed form,weak energy condition, and existence of a regular Cauchy surface at which thecollapse begins. The matter properties are generic in the sense that both theradial and the tangential stresses are non vanishing, and the kinematicalproperties are generic as well, since shear, expansion, and acceleration arealso non-vanishing. As a test-bed for cosmic censorship, the nature of thefuture singularity forming at the center is analyzed as an existence problemfor o.d.e. at a singular point using techniques based on comparison theorems,and the spectrum of endstates - blackholes or naked singularities - is found infull generality. Consequences of these results on the Cosmic Censorshipconjecture are discussed.Comment: LaTeX2e, 18 pages, to appear in Comm. Math. Phy
