Hi Listees,

I don't know if this thought has ever come up before in this way, but....

Isn't the moon, by definition, one gigantic tektite since it was
spalled off from the Earth during a catastrophic meteorite impact?

If so, then every lunar meteorite is also a tektite.....of sorts.

Best regards,

MikeG
