TEKTITE

Picture of Tektite

Tektites are small, irregularly shaped glassy nodules that have no crystal structure and are similar to obsidian. Tektites are thought to be from meteorites, but their origin is not proven, some scientists maintaining that they are terrestrial and produced as a result of meteorite impacts, others believing them to be meteorite material.
