[meteorite-list] A Couple of Online Articles About Australian Tektites

[Paul]

Dear List Members,

While browsing the Internet, I came across a couple 
of articles, which are available online as PDF 
documents, which might be of interest to people on 
this list.

One of them is:

Pillans, Brad, 2004, Tektites as Chronostratigraphic 
Markers in Australian Regolith. In I. Roach, ed., 
pp. 279-281, Proceedings of the CRC LEME Regional 
Regolith Symposia, November 2004, Adelaide, Perth 
and Canberra.

Apparently, Dr. Pillans, as a part of his research is 
looking for tektites, which have detailed information 
concerning where they were found. The article stated: 

“As part of the CRC LEME geochronology 
project I would like to hear from anyone 
who has found tektites. I also encourage 
all of you to be alert to tektites in 
your field work.”

He definitely encourages people to make detailed notes 
on location and the context of any tektites, which they
find, much like is done now for meteorites.

Another paper, which discusses tektites, is:

Regolith, (c) CRC LEME 2004 Geochronology

Another online paper, which mentions tektites, is:

Pillans, B., 2003, Subdividing the Pleistocene using 
the Matuyama-Brunhes boundary (MBB): an Australasian 
perspective. Quaternary Science Reviews. vol. 22, 
pp. 1569-1577.
