Hi Howard and list,
it has never been my intention to give the impression that I might know
more than others.
What I find rather funny is the whole long list of guesses what a genuine
meteorite might be.
Howard, I hope you agree that a guenine meteorite and a tectite is
not the same thing. I agree that not all
questions regarding tectites are answered. But that's not the point.
The funniest part - for me at least - is the end of the explanation
where it says:IT MAY BE PART
OF A LARGE IMPACT METEOR THAT STRUCK THE EARTH AND FELL BACK.
Fell back to where? It almost seems that the writer of the text is
an extra terrestrial ;-)
Have a nice weekend!

FINALLY AS A BONUS YOU RECEIVE A GENUINE METEORITE PIECE.
THE NAME OF THIS ROCK IS CALLED
TEKTITE. SCIENTISTS ARE NOT
SURE EXACTLY WHERE THIS COMES
FROM BUT THEY SAY IT IS
EITHER A SHOOTING STAR THAT
ALMOST COMPLETELY BURNED
UP IN THE ATMOSPHERE, A PIECE
OF LUNAR LAVA THAT ERUPTED
FROM THE SURFACE OF THE MOON
EONS AGO OR IT MAY BE PART
OF A LARGE IMPACT METEOR THAT
STRUCK THE EARTH AND FELL BACK.
