Scientific paper

Major-element and trace-element analyses were performed on the 'Cuban' tectite, found about 20 years ago at Columbia University and classified by Garlick et al. (1971) as belonging to the North American tectite strewn field. The results indicate that the Cuban tektite is a North American tektite, but different from both bediasites and Georgia tektites, although with some similarities to bediasites. This tektite also has some similarities to the Barbados tektites, and, thus, may comprise its own distinct subgroup, probably related to the Barbados occurrence and belonging to a Caribbean substrewn field. It is concluded that the 'Cuban' tektite really originated from Cuba.
