[meteorite-list] Best institutional tektite collections?

[Walter Branch]

The Fernbank Science Center/museum in Atlanta, GA has a large collection of 
Georgia Tektites.  I have not been there in years, though, so if you plant 
to vist you may want to call ahead to make sure they still have the 
collection.

Hi Phil,

The Smithsonian Natural HIstory Museum has a pretty good display. Here
are a couple pics of the tektite presentation:

And there's a smidgen of tektites in the upper right corner of this
display in Hastings, Nebraska:
