AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Big impressive Muong Nong Tektite in Museum grade.
perfect layering and twist, nicely smoth surface. Even it hase some chips, they are verry samal and verry few for Muong Nong Tektites.
993g 126 x 85 x 76 mm
Muong Nong tektites or layered tektite glass is just found in the Indochinite strewnfield. Based on the spatial distribution of Muong Nong-type tektite sites and the chemical characteristics of the objects, the source region is in a limited area near the Thailand / Laos border. The geographic variation of 10Be contents in Australasian tektites may also provide clues to the location of the source crater.
Muong Nong Tektites are much more bubbly and much less homogeneous than splash form glass while still being chemically similar to that of the aerodynamically formed specimens
As typical for Muong Nong Tektite, some ancient and some recent chips
