[meteorite-list] Speaking of tektites...

2003-04-02 Thread TMS/TNS/HRC
Has anyone ever speculated about the fate of silicate inclusions/graphite nodules/etc.near the surface of iron meteorites, and ablate as they enter the atmosphere? I seem to remember long ago hearing a theory that this was one explanation ofthe origin of tektites. Ring a bell with anyone?
