Hi Aubrey, Norm, List

In Ensisheim (in 3 weeks from now), there will be again a substantial selection of tektites (mostly Rizalites, Cambodianites, some "Vietnamites") for sale (on consignment, in the consignment room) at interesting prices. As in 2006, some Rizalite "monsters" (over 450 g) are anounced.

My 2 specific questions are more general:

- How heavy is the biggest tektite (Muong Nong not counted) known on earth ?
- How heavy is the biggest Vietnamite known on earth ?
- How heavy is the biggest Rizalite known on earth ?

For Rizalite, my best reference is the 1069 g specimen as mentioned by H. O. Beyer ("Philippine tektites"). I could not find any "spectacular" data (i.e. over, say, 250-300 g) for vietnamites...

Thanks and best wsihes,

Zelimir

P.S. Aubrey, very nice site! Congratulations! And these London microtektites are really intriguing !

Hi

I just wanted to draw attention to these possible microtektites from the Lower Eocene London Clay in England. The finder, Michael Daniels, has very kindly provided a number of images and some notes.

What do people think of these possible microtektites? Are they comparable with other microtektites found? Interestingly some of the microtektites seem to have extra 'spikey' features (see photos) - is this normal?

Thanks, Aubrey

P.S. out of contact from 26th May for a bit.
