Hi all,
thought I would put some URL's together on the Tektite/Tunguska/Missing crater
issue. Can't seem to find a "butterfly footprint" of the Australites/Indochinites
on the web-anyone?

Have a good weekend
Chris Sharp

A page that discusses some of the issues Kelly Webb has raised:

"it is still unknown why large meteoroids/small asteroids break up at dynamical
pressures lower than their mechanical strength"
