Re: 'aerodynamic'tektites (Not related to #800)
Dear JJ and All,
In the following months we will have more images and information
on Tektites on our page http://www.meteorite.com/tektites/shapes.htm
We have many very interesting specimens and topics about tektites
we wish to present to all of you. We will be asking many questions
and looking for answers so that we may better understand these
wonderful glassy objects.
Such as:
Does anyone have a Tektite specimen composed of a mixture of glass
and parent material?
I wish to apologize for not being able to keep up all of my personal
contacts with many of you lately. And, it's not going to improve till
sometime in April :-(
Best Wishes To All,
Paul Harris

Hello to everyone,
For those of us whose curiosity far exceeds our data base of
knowledge, I need some help understanding tektites. One of their
characteristics seems to be something of an 'aerodynamic' quality. I
have seen many different shapes and yet have not seen any that would
indicate anything that would make them particularly aerodynamic.
(Obviously, most meteorites are not necessarily aerodynamically shaped).
Hence, my curiosity as to why or what it is about tektites that puts them
in this category. Is it something other than shape? Any assistance
would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, jj
