V.E. Barnes (1969) Progress of Tektite Studies in China, EOS Trans.Am.
Geophys.Un. 50, 704-708.
A 10.8-kg Layered (Muong-Nong-Type) Tektite from Wenchang, Hainan,
China, D.S.Futrell, 6222 Haviland Ave., Whittier, Calif. 90601, USA, and
J.T. Wasson, Inst.Geophys.Planet.Phys.,Univ. Calif. 90024-1567, USA: A
10.79-kg layered tektite from Hainan (the largest of numerous specimens
totalling over 600 kg) is the largest tektite from China and the 5th
largest reported to date. It together with a 1.9-kg Hainan tektite
described by Yuan (1981) greatly extends the area of the Australasian
field within which layered tektites having masses > 1 kg have been found
(Meteoritics 28, 1993, 136-137).
