Hersey Kiss Tektites....these are tektites that are...well shaped like a = chocolate Hersey Kiss (those overseas may search the net to see what I = am talking about). They are teardrops that were still soft a little = when impacting the ground so their tails where still in the air pointing = up.....=20 I have a few of these in my collection and am interested in gettimg = more, if anyone has any, please e-mail me off list. I did a few = comparision photos with a real chocolate kiss and was surprized at the = results....I am thinking about doing an article on them any help would = be appreciated. =20 They also have a FLAT bottom. If the bottom is not flat its not what I = consider a true hersey kiss. "Onion" shaped tektites formed by spinning = is an example of a shape that will look like the hersey kisses.... Pretty much all I found were around 20 grams and all from Thialand, = around the Khorat Plateau. To make Hershey's Kisses, chocolate is deposited by machines onto a = moving stainless steel belt. The chocolate then moves through a cooling = tunnel for about 18 minutes before emerging as a solid product.=20 So....I was wondering....does anyone know at what tempature tektites = become solid? Probley the same as obsideon... I am also interested in = know how fast the tektites would be traveling and if anyone knows..a = simple formula for figuring out how much effect the air around the = tektite effects the tektite as compared to air temp. and tektite travel = speed. Mt Saint Helen research might have several of these poorly = phrased question's answers. =20 and Tuscon!!! Looks like we all in for a treat. Two new meteorite books, two = meteorite auctions, a meteorite party, and well....lots of meteorites!! = I look foward to meeting everyone I did not get to meet last year at = Denver. =20 I'm not sure what all I will bring down with me as I plan to bring a lot = back. Probley even have to mail a couple packages to myself....never = done that before. =20 I am flying down late Feb 5th and will fly back on the 10th. I have to = go through Denver each way so maybe I'll run into one or two of you = COMETS? =20 I've always enjoyed reading everybodys stories after the show so I will = make time to put mine in words. =20 At least I know where to look for everybody.....most people can usually = be found in Blaine Reed's room drinking his beer I assume as in Denver? See some of you...next week!!!
