Hi
Still seeking the new owner of a possible world record breaking tektite which
came to light on 07 February 2011 in Paracale, Philippines. Very keen to know
the true weight as the weight given by dealers here can be highly misleading.
Certainly in the 900g to 1,250g range though and the weight estimate could well
be realistic. You can let me know anonymously if you like - off-list. For the
record the heaviest Philippinite is 1,070.54g and the heaviest of all tektites
(excluding Muong Nong-type layered impactites) is either 1,070.54g (as above)
or possibly a 1,200g Indochinite (shape is right, but might be a rolled/water
worn Muong Nong-type).
Also, I will be giving a presentation on tektites at Rizal Technological
University on Boni Avenue in Mandaluyong, Manila, Philippines. It will be in
the new building - Astronomy Centre at 9am (yes, very early) on Saturday 19th
February. All welcome I am told.
Regards, Aubrey Whymark
