A Large area sampling with a box core in the Indian Ocean has led to the discovery of minitektites (size > 1mm - 3.75 mm long) and a tektite fragment (~1.25 mm) co-occurring with microtektites belonging to the Australasian tektite strewn field. Minitektites and the microtektites are found to have similar major element compositions conforming to the Australasian tektite/microtektite chemistry. Earlier studies based on isotopic evidence, dating, and chemistry had provided evidence of a single large tektite strewn field, however, the physical association of tektites co-occurring with microtektites has been lacking. The present study provides such an association.
