Re: [meteorite-list] Metal Tektite's?
Hi, Kevin, A tektite is glass. True, a special glass, with special characteristics, but it is by definition, a glass. The word tektite means molten. They are glasses because they were some kind of rock which was completely melted and then cooled too rapidly to form crystals again (which is why their origin is a concealed mystery and a quarrel). Certainly, tektites contain metals and the chemical compounds of metals, but if by metal tektite you mean something similiar to the way an iron meteorite is a metal meteorite, the answer would be no.

Re: [meteorite-list] Metal Tektite's?
Hi Kevin, Nope, I don't think there are metal tektites. The tektite origin theory that is most widely accepted is that Tektites are terrestrial material melted into a glass by the heat of a large meteorite impact. Since the material on the surface of earth is mostly silicate, tektites are essentially glass. There is very little of the earth's surface that is covered by any metal in its metallic state. Therefore metal tektites are very highly unlikely. Now, that said there are tektites with very small (smaller than 1/16) balls of metal inside the glass. This is believed to be caused by vaporization of a nickel-iron meteorite on impact, followed by cooling of the meteoritic metal and coalescing the metal into tiny spheres which get encapsulated in the glass formed by melting the soil and rock in the impact area.

RE: [meteorite-list] RE...Metal Tektite's....
Well, if you want to get picky, technically you can get that type of material from an iron meteorite, although I'm not sure I'd call it a tektite. Canyon Diablo is well known for having partly vaporized on impact; the resultant iron vapor recondensed and seeded the desert for kilometers around with metallic droplets that cooled into tiny spheres. I don't think there was any mixture of gas and solid, though. Either the fragment remained metal all the way down, or it vaporized on impact.

List, Here's a heads up on something kind of neat. A few days ago I stopped at my favorite central Nevada dry lake and collected several specimens complete with the dessicated lake bed surface in which they were embedded. I just posted the first one to ebay. See it at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=6624425370 This makes a really interesting display piece and comes with exact find coordinates. If anyone would like a bigger version of this---say a square foot or so of lake surface complete with a meteorite, let me know and I'll try to collect one for you on my next trip out. I'm still experimenting with approaches to stabilizing the material, but water-diluted Elmer's glue seems to work well without any obvious changes in appearance.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite List
Hi, Jay, I have to completely disagree with you. Often the bantering was at an intellectual level, and some of the most interesting and thought-provoking perspectives were brought out then. At other times it seemed, to me, anyway, like the disagreements within a family - of which every family experiences. Those were sometimes even entertaining. Considering the uniqueness of the interest in meteorites and their related topics, a family is pretty close to what this list is/was. As long as the first word in an ad was AD, those could be easily skipped, if you are so inclined. Personally, I enjoy looking at photos of meteorites, and although my budget is strictly for non-classifieds, I checked out every link to a sale or web site that was posted. Pitches per week werent an issue with me. All things considered, did you really find it so intolerable? Dont you think that the contributions of members from the likes of the Smithsonian, NASA, other research institutions around the planet, and the top hunters and collectors more than made up for the bumps? If it was to be strictly business for every post, what a boring list it would be! just my opinion, of course. Goddamn group hug!
