Hi Phil and Norm,
Nice to talk to you again Phil, It's been a while! I did not have anyone
ask any questions nor offer any possible solutions
to the questions I posted in the March 2003 edition so I thought I'd post
the article again and throw out a different specimen...
Norm, this is the type of specimen I'm interested. It is a regular solid
patty, not hollow (~ 2.4 g/cc)

Norm, please let me know how many you have and the price. (off list please)
Thank you,
Paul

Hi Norm and Paul,
It is an interesting concept and I've wondered how to tell a true
impact/weld from a bubble feature (collapsed or burst), especially when
the feature is totally recessed.
Norm, do you agree with the assessment of the piece in the original March
2003 edition as an impact/weld?
Feel free to respond back to the entire list at any point.
Regards,
Phil

Subject: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Times tektite of the month
Paul,
I tried to send this off list, but the email link
doesn't work.
With all due respect, you are selling an idea as fact.
Ideas are fun and should be unconstrained. But don't
present them as done deals. I have dozens of
specimens of this sort. They are so uniform that they
cannot be the random melding of two tektites. I don't
claim to know what they are for sure (and I don't even
deny that you could be right, but I don't think so).
I have one that is developed on a bubble shard and
the convex exterior feature corresponds with a concave
interior feature, suggesting it was a bubble about to
erupt. This is quite fatal to your interpretation.
Tektites are particularly fun because there are still
questions like this that even us kids have a shot at
solving. But don't foist a simple idea, as fine as it
may be, on the believing public as fact. It is a fine
idea. And almost surely wrong. Sorry. But if you
want to buy a whole bunch of these, let me know!
Norm
