Tektites (from Greek tktós, "molten") are gravel-sized bodies composed of black, green, brown, or gray natural glass formed from terrestrial debris ejected during meteorite impacts. The term was coined by Austrian geologist Franz Eduard Suess (18671941), son of Eduard Suess. They generally range in size from millimeters to centimeters. Millimeter-scale tektites are known as microtektites.Tektites are characterized by:* a fairly homogeneous composition * an extremely low content of water and other volatiles * an abundance of lechatelierite * a general lack of microscopic crystals known as microlites and chemical relation to the local bedrock or local sediments * their distribution within geographically extensive strewn fields |
