What I find rather funny is the whole long list of guesses what a genuine meteorite might be. Howard, I hope you agree that a guenine meteorite and a tectite is not the same thing. I agree that not all questions regarding tectites are answered. But that's not the point. The funniest part - for me at least - is the end of the explanation where it says:IT MAY BE PART OF A LARGE IMPACT METEOR THAT STRUCK THE EARTH AND FELL BACK. Fell back to where? It almost seems that the writer of the text is an extra terrestrial ;-) Have a nice weekend! Peter Marmet Howard Wu wrote: Ok Peter, if your so smart where do tektites come from?
