[meteorite-list] Tektite with metal?

[Eric Wichman]

Hey all,

On my recent adventure to the Tucson show I purchased many meteorites 
and about 6 kilos of tektites, in the batch of tektites I found an odd 
piece. Now I'm very familiar with chondrites but know little to nothing 
about tektites. Can someone please tell me what I'm looking at here.

It's an odd piece. It appears to be metal embedded in the tektite in two 
places. This is the only piece I have that exhibits this inclusion. Is 
this a natural inclusion that formed after the tektite was formed or is 
it just something "stuck" in the tektite???

The piece is about 34 grams... http://www.meteoritesusa.com/tektites.htm

This is bugging me because I can't find any info on it and I'd like to 
know if this is normal for a tektite or just some fluke oddity.

Regards,
Eric
