This review is focused on ultra‐high‐pressure mineralogical research done during the period of the quadrennium. Where possible, reference to review articles and books have been substituted for discussion. Static‐pressure experiments are the theme of the review because of the breakthroughs in technique and discovery during the period. Shock‐pressure experimental results during the period, of equal importance, have also contributed to the gains in understanding of the mineralogy of the mantle and core.
