Hi

I am compiling a list of the largest Philippine tektites. If you have a large (over 900g) Philippinite then please let me know. Also please let me know the details (dates, localities, story, history) and indicate if I can publish the data. Also interested in data on particularly large tektites from anywhere else in the world for the website!


This is my list so far:
Weight Locality Find Date Current Owner

1,195.00g? Talusan, Paracale, Bicol 05 Feb 2011 Aubrey Whymark, Philippines

1,070.54g Bicol Before Apr 1937 Corning Museum of Glass, N.Y., USA

Under 1,020g* Coco Grove, Paracale, Bicol Aug-Dec 1938 Not known

1,018.40g* Paracale, Bicol Old Collection Aubrey Whymark, Philippines

1,009g Paracale, Bicol Unknown Dieter Heinlein, Germany
        
991.7g Assume Bicol Pre-2007 Formerly Futrell, ?Lehman, USA

986g Assume Bicol Pre-2007 Prof. Zelimir Gabelica (in 2007)

970.2g? Assume Bicol Pre-2011 Milan Trnka, Czech Republic

966.85g Agusan, Bicol 18 Jun 2011 Aubrey Whymark, Philippines

924.9g Bicol Pre-2008 Guido von Berg, Spain/Germany

ABOVE: A table of known Philippinites over 900g in weight. Almost certainly more exist. ? Not yet formally weighed. * Strong chance that these are the same specimen but not provable. ? Probably the same specimen.
