went to the ga clay minerals conference in athens yesterday w/ ed albin. there were some amazing , hi-end, doctorate -level talks on tektites, micro tektites , micrometeorites. GOOD scientific info on just about every possible tektite causing event from chesapeake to n. KT event was there in well laid out, scientific format. our feature was an abstract on the newly recovered 86G ga tektite (the largest ga splash form tektite known) and the weathering and transportation of ga tektites from the upper eocene down to lower elevation miocene deposits where they are found today. robert strange was there w/ the only mong nuong ga tektite (that is also the largest ever known @ 130+G before it was cut). there were kt micro tektites from al, bill glass was there, loads of maps, geochemistry, s.e.m. stuff, x-ray spectro stuff, shock quartz, you name it, etc.. LOADS of fun, VERY informative, info on just about any tektite-related subject- will post to this list next year as this was a must attend for any serious tektite collector
