Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text commences with the history of tektites, from mediaeval China, through finds in Czechoslovakia in the 18th century and Darwin's description while on the Beagle, to 20th-century finds in South East Asia, the Ivory Coast and the USA. The four major strewn fields are described, followed by their extension by deep sea finds of microtektites and the recognition of irregular, large layered tektites in SE Asia.

This book was released on 1962 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence is presented which shows that the Australian and Java tektites entered the earth's atmosphere and experienced ablation by severe aerodynamic heating in hypervelocity flight. The laboratory experiments on hypervelocity ablation have reproduced ring-wave flow ridges and coiled circumferential flanges like those found on certain of these tektites. Systematic striae distortions exhibited in a thin layer beneath the front surface of australites also are reproduced in the laboratory ablation experiments, and are shown to correspond to the calculated distortions for aerodynamic ablation of a glass. About 98 percent of Australian tektites represent aerodynamically stable configurations during the ablative portion of an entry trajectory. Certain meteorites exhibit surface features similar to those on tektites.
