Hi
I am compiling a list of the largest Philippine tektites. If you have a large
(over 900g) Philippinite then please let me know. Also please let me know the
details (dates, localities, story, history) and indicate if I can publish the
data. Also interested in data on particularly large tektites from anywhere else
in the world for the website!
This is my list so far:
Weight Locality Find Date Current Owner
1,195.00g‡ Talusan, Paracale, Bicol 05 Feb 2011 Aubrey Whymark,
Philippines
1,070.54g Bicol Before Apr 1937 Corning Museum of Glass, N.Y., USA
Under 1,020g* Coco Grove, Paracale, Bicol Aug-Dec 1938 Not known
1,018.40g* Paracale, Bicol Old Collection Aubrey Whymark, Philippines
1,009g Paracale, Bicol Unknown Dieter Heinlein, Germany
991.7g Assume Bicol Pre-2007 Formerly Futrell, ?Lehman, USA
986g Assume Bicol Pre-2007 Prof. Zelimir Gabelica (in 2007)
970.2g† Assume Bicol Pre-2011 Milan Trnka, Czech Republic
967g† Assume Bicol Pre-2007 Prof. Zelimir Gabelica (in 2007)
966.85g Agusan, Bicol 18 Jun 2011 Aubrey Whymark, Philippines
924.9g Bicol Pre-2008 Guido von Berg, Spain/Germany
ABOVE: A table of known Philippinites over 900g in weight. Almost certainly
more exist. ‡ Not yet formally weighed. * Strong chance that these are the same
specimen but not provable. † Probably the same specimen.
