I firmly believe it to be a "Tektite" (a mixture of meteorite/earth metals and silicates ejected from the crater by the force of impact). No doubt the Fusion Crust and stress lines on this Tektite are due to it being cast high enough in earth's atmosphere to have experienced "reentry."" Wow - A "tektite" that was ejected into space and still "landed" near the impacting crater - neat trick! ( I don't even believe "it" is from Diablo Canyon) Best, Ken Newton --------------51AD4B6F7A04C5F0C22F5558 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> Auction - <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1089604606">AWESOME CANYON DIABLO TEKTITE 307.08 GRAMS NR</a> <br>Descript - " The only thing I guarantee about this specimen, is that it is from the heart of the Diablo Canyon Scatterfield!
