Hi,
With the current interest in tektites, thanks to the appearance of a nice group
of Ivory Coast Tektites in Tucson, some of you may be looking for more
information on them. The Geological Society of London has a great sale on now,
they are offering Tektites in the Geological Record: Showers
Thank you Peter for the heads up, book now ordered. That is a

The Formation of Tektites from a Terrestrial Ring Arc

Abstract. Although tektites have been scientifically studied for the last
150 years, their origin still remains unknown.

Distribution. The subsequent passage of the ring arc from west to east and
its collapse on the Earth's surface formed the Australasian strewn field of
tektites and microtektites. The Australasian field forms a single unit

Actually, ignore that last bit about the wet craters. The Chesapeake was
dozens to hundreds of km offshore, and Bosumptwi may have been low-lying,
but Ries was high and dry at the time of impact. SE Asia is anyone's
guess.

Mark,
I believe it is well understood that tektites are of terrestrial origin
(one, probably the most widely accepted theory). My remark was more subtle.
Without having data on hand to check, I believe that a tektite is considered
as a terrestrial (silica -rich or -enriched) material ejected (by

To me the very fact that there are no known Earthites, (other than
Tektites) or any known 'venusites', (or indeed any meteorites of types
not believed to be from asteroids/persolar nebula/mars/moon/and maybe
mercury?) raises some interesting questions...
Either,

if the moon has once been a part of the earth, do we have lunaites

Basically it's the formation of glass from heat and pressure. A
meteorite hits the earth, and the force melts the sand (silicate) to
sand. The same thing happens with atomic bombs.

Adam, List,
It would stand to reason that if these are in fact a part of the fall, they will be magnetic, is this the case? If so, I would propose that they are remnants of the formation of the crust, that were caught up in the stones fall, following it to its destination, perhaps in an 'eddy'

Does anyone have information about (complaints or comments to the
seller on Ebay)on his sale of the Tektites from SE Arizona? I was
bidding on these and then at the last minutes of the sale the seller
retracted the sale claiming complaints. Please contact me off list.
Thank you.
Dear Dirk,
Here is the information.

There is a photo showing the cover of the book in this month's tektite
article in MeteoriteTimes
Speaking of tektites here is a URL showing some teeny tiny lunar impact glasses with
interesting shapes. They were microprobed to determine whether they were impact or
volcanic glasses. Other similar samples are currently undergoing Ar-Ar dating
analysis. Enjoy the photos.

Thank you for this valuable information. Sincerely, Dirk Ross..Tokyo
