1. The terrestrial source for tektites is supported by well-documented evidence. 2. Some Apollo 14 samples also had chemistries similar to tektites . 3. This helped establish that tektites were produced in meteorite impacts. 4. The Tektite II missions were carried out in 1970. 5. The Tektite II missions were the first to undertake in-depth ecological studies. 6. Much of the research for Tektite I centered on humans in this new environment. 7. The difference in water content can be used to distinguish tektites from terrestrial volcanic glasses. 8. The ages of tektites from the four strewnfields have been determined using radiometric dating methods. 9. The name Tektite generally refers to a class of meteorites formed by extremely rapid cooling. 10. The Program Manager for the Tektite projects at General Electric was Dr . Theodore Marton.
