Tuguska like events are plausible, except at Tuguska no appreciable material was recovered and what was recovered was very minute, and i don't know how that material compares to "normal" tektites....also if that is the senario; why are tektites structured as they are? wouldn't the energies involved distort the tektite structure as well; not to mention the size of some tektites additionally, you misread my statement concerning the morphology of tektites i did not say they had no minerals or structure; i said AS meaning compared to earth rocks typical earth rocks...
