Phil & list,

There's a fine (and strictly, quite meaningless) line
between classic stretch tektites and starburst ray
impact features. What I generaly look for is a bend
in the overall stone that corresponds with the angle
of the stretched skin split. Check out the sketch
shown with the big stretch teardrop on our website
stretch tektite page (http://tektitesource .com).

Cheers,
Norm
