We have analyzed the size, shape, composition, and spatial distribution of 6 kg of layered tektite fragments excavated from a 3 m x 3 m area near the town of Ban Huai Sai in northeast Thailand. Our analysis suggests that these fragments represent a single homogeneous mass that underwent fragmentation far in the past and has undergone little disturbance since its deposition. We have also studied the stratigraphic occurrence of layered tektites exposed in situ near the town of Ban Huai Om. Tektites were found along a disconformable paleo-erosion surface covered by recent aeolian sand, similar to other occurrences throughout Southeast Asia. This stratigraphic relationship provides little chronostratigraphic information and, thus, does not support a stratigraphic "age paradox" for the Australasian tektites. The present-day surface density of layered tektites in this area is 2 to 20 g/m2.
