[meteorite-list] Meteorite Times tektite of the month

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello fellow tektite addicts Paul and Norm,

Paul noted "I invite you to please share your views and images of specimens 
that you have either
supporting or opposing so that we can all better understand these amazing 
objects."

I have a few of these somewhere and have many others I strangely left in 
dealer boxes.  There are a couple variations in these from what I have 
noticed.  Some have nice rims...where others are kind of sunk in with no 
rim.  Also, and almost more puzzling, I have seen more that are oval rather 
then round.  I would think...without anything to back me back...that the 
more round versions with nice rims are bubbles coming out.  It just seems to 
me that would happen.  Oval ones that are sunk in are a little more 
confusing as I can't seem to image injection or bubbling out forming such 
features.  I am of course ignoring other forces at work during or after 
tektite formation...such as motion or weathering.

Clear Skies,
Mark Bostick
