I believe that description agrees with the long standing litany on what a tetkite is. One could probably find these words right out of a general text. Only "one of us" would find fault in this. If these weren't probably extraterrestial we wouldn't lump them as meteoritic and they'd need there own list. As this was a 'free bonus" no deception is obvious.(As long as it is a genuine tektite.)

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?

THE NAME OF THIS ROCK IS CALLED TEKTITE. SCIENTISTS ARE NOT SURE EXACTLY WHERE THIS COMES FROM BUT THEY SAY IT IS EITHER A SHOOTING STAR THAT ALMOST COMPLETELY BURNED UP IN THE ATMOSPHERE, A PIECE OF LUNAR LAVA THAT ERUPTED FROM THE SURFACE OF THE MOON EONS AGO OR IT MAY BE PART OF A LARGE IMPACT METEOR THAT STRUCK THE EARTH AND FELL BACK. --------------------------------- Yahoo!
