Thanks for the link Phil! I need to update the site a little actually, but it still makes good reading!

I was emailed about this tektite a couple of days before it was listed. I told him it was a Muong Nong, but he seems to want to compare it to splashforms. This is a good size Muong Nong-type, but nowhere near a world record breaker!
