Tektites: Chemical Composition

Scientific paper

Geochemical arguments have been used to demonstrate that tektites have been derived from terrestrial upper crustal rocks, presumably sediments. These arguments include the abundances and ratios of major- and trace-elements as well as isotope data. Trace-element ratios in all types of tektites are characteristic, particularly ratios such as Ba/Rb, Th/Sm, K/U and La/Sc which support the conclusion that tektites are unlikely any lunar material, but close to terrestrial upper crustal sediments in composition.
