Marc & all,
I have been corresponding with the eBay seller
offering this material. He's an honest guy who was
sold the material by a rockhound in good faith.
Typical story. Local geologist looked at them and said
they were tektites, etc, etc.
There is currently no reason to think thay are real.
Marc D. Fries asked:
>I see that someone is offering "newly discovered
>Columbia basin tektites" on ebay right now.
>Has anyone heard of these? I haven't heard
>anything about them until now and my
>skepticism meter is pegged
Given that these alleged "tektites" look like
water-rolled piece
Dear Mr. Fries,
I have seen the photos and would be very cautious in labeling this material as tektite related. Please also note the geology of the area??!!! I am a researcher of tektites and impact related materials as well as meteorites. If may help in the future with real tektites pleas
Howdy
I see that someone is offering "newly discovered Columbia basin
tektites" on ebay right now. Has anyone heard of these? I haven't
heard anything about them until now and my skepticism meter is pegged.
Cheers,
MDF
