That was my first thought as well. It's probably a fairly complex
problem. At the least, Coriolis effects will be significant, and will
distort the debris pattern.

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Tektite fields and rotation
Hi Ed,
Since ejecta would start out with the same rotational motion as the
Earth, at what point and by what mechanism would you inferring that it
"decouples" from Earth and looses that rotational component of its own
motion? Good question, though!
Best wishes,
Doug
