[meteorite-list] Re-2: Question About Potassium-Argon (K/Ar) dates for North American and Austr

[bernd.pauli at paulinet.de]

Paul inquires:

"Can anyone recommend a publication that provides a comprehensive
 listing of Potassium-Argon (K/Ar) dates that have been published for
 the North American and Australasian tektites?"

Michael Blood writes:

"K-Ar dating is only applicable to volcanic material,
therefore, It would not be applicable to tektites.

Michael, are you sure???
