Hi The biggest Muong Nong-type tektites appear to be in the Laos-NE Thailand border and in Hainan. For sure they are very proximal tektites/impactites. I think the microtektite distribution pattern is a better indicator though as it's going to be statistically more reliable. All the evidence

Hello Steve, All, I've hear tell (and seen photos) of a Muong Nong layered tektite in the 40-50kg range in Thailand, but the asking price was around a dollar a gram. They do come big, but they're rarely seen above about a kilo or so. Regards, Jason On Sat, Dec 12, 2009 at 4:11 AM, steve arnold

Michael and List Members, Norm is correct; your tektite is a Muong Nong type tektite (layered tektite) and not a splashform Indochinite. It could be from Laos or China. The largest Muong Nong is perhaps one in Bangkok, weighing-in at 28Kgs. Best Regards, Dirk Ross...Tokyo --- Michael L Blood

Hi Dieter, That's the reason why I asked the weight (mass), not the volume, nor the fictitious weight. I well know the hollow tektites from Norm's site. They can have densities even lower than 2. I conclude that, so far, after the Beyer's N° 1, you have the number 2 (1009 g).
