Hello All,

A couple things....

Hersey Kiss Tektites....these are tektites that are...well shaped like a =
chocolate Hersey Kiss (those overseas may search the net to see what I =
am talking about). They are teardrops that were still soft a little =
when impacting the ground so their tails where still in the air pointing =
up.....=20

I have a few of these in my collection and am interested in gettimg =
more, if anyone has any, please e-mail me off list. I did a few =
comparision photos with a real chocolate kiss and was surprized at the =
results....I am thinking about doing an article on them any help would =
be appreciated. =20

They also have a FLAT bottom. If the bottom is not flat its not what I =
consider a true hersey kiss. "Onion" shaped tektites formed by spinning =
is an example of a shape that will look like the hersey kisses....

Pretty much all I found were around 20 grams and all from Thialand, =
around the Khorat Plateau.

To make Hershey's Kisses, chocolate is deposited by machines onto a =
moving stainless steel belt. The chocolate then moves through a cooling =
tunnel for about 18 minutes before emerging as a solid product.=20

So....I was wondering....does anyone know at what tempature tektites =
become solid? Probley the same as obsideon... I am also interested in =
know how fast the tektites would be traveling and if anyone knows..a =
simple formula for figuring out how much effect the air around the =
tektite effects the tektite as compared to air temp. and tektite travel =
speed. Mt Saint Helen research might have several of these poorly =
phrased question's answers. =20

and Tuscon!!!

Looks like we all in for a treat. Two new meteorite books, two =
meteorite auctions, a meteorite party, and well....lots of meteorites!! =
I look foward to meeting everyone I did not get to meet last year at =
Denver. =20

I'm not sure what all I will bring down with me as I plan to bring a lot =
back. Probley even have to mail a couple packages to myself....never =
done that before. =20

I am flying down late Feb 5th and will fly back on the 10th. I have to =
go through Denver each way so maybe I'll run into one or two of you =
COMETS? =20

I've always enjoyed reading everybodys stories after the show so I will =
make time to put mine in words. =20

At least I know where to look for everybody.....most people can usually =
be found in Blaine Reed's room drinking his beer I assume as in Denver?

See some of you...next week!!!
