Hi, Ty, List,
The best source for extensive information about

Hello Sterling & List,
Thank you for the tektite zip file, this is classic reading on a
fascinating subject matter. I am currently researching Moldavites,
and would greatly appreciate any resources, bibliographies, or links
that might be floating around. The best I can find is Vladimir Bouskas

Jean-Alix,
Thanks. An excellent book. It understands tektites,
which is to say it admits it doesn't understand tektites:
"These unusual glassy bodies, especially tektites
and microtektites, have been the objects of active,

Hi,
this book is interesting, but many works have been made on tektites since
1976... (See for example all the Christian Koeberl's papers...)
By the way, a very interesting link for people interested by impact processes is
the book entitled "traces of catastrophe" that can be downloaded on the lp
You have to click the regular download tab, then scroll down to the
tektites.zip tab, then click on that.
DONT CLICK ANYTHING ELSE, it gives some strange pop ups that require several
clicks to get off your PC.

I couldn't find a free download link - it presented me with a
selection of memberships to purchase and nothing about downloading the

Hi, List,
The first five chapters of John O'Keefe's 1976 book,
"Tektites and Their Origin," long out-of-print (Amazon
$200) had been posted for many years on a website
("originoftektikes.com") but is now a dead link.
Those first five chapters of O'Keefe's "Tektites and
Their Origin" ar

Hi Listers:
Sure this has been discussed before but can't find it. Any idea what
happened to the 2nd meteorite

broken up and sold here and there?

I believe from what I have seen it is stable. No reason to believe otherwise at

After a brief conversation with Dr. Carl Allen's wife Jackie, a
volcanologist, I seem to recall her saying that most of the glass on the
surface of the moon was basaltic in nature, from volcanic action billions of
years ago when the moon's center was still hot enough to produce magma. The

Hi,
to give you a fast answer, the vast majority of tectites and impact glasses from
Earth are like average upper crust lithologies, i.e. granitic rocks. The
exceptions are lonar glasses (basaltic) and libyan desert glasses (silica)
because of the particular composition of the melted target rocks.
