[meteorite-list] Tektite fields and rotation

[mexicodoug at aim.com]

Hi Ed,

Since ejecta would start out with the same rotational motion as the 
Earth, at what point and by what mechanism would you inferring that it 
"decouples" from Earth and looses that rotational component of its own 
motion?  Good question, though!

Best wishes,
Doug

Hi all  -

I wonder what effect the rotation of the Earth plays
in the distribution of the tektites from their impact
crater. Their trip must take some time, and the Earth
must rotate under them during that time.

Any ideas?

good hunting,
