This fully flanged button was found in December 2002 on a sandy bank with the flange (posterior side)  down and the anterior side (flow rings) exposed. The posterior surface is therefore in excellent condition but the anterior side is slightly abraded. A dent on the anterior side seems to have occured while it was still in flight (possible burst bubble) as the flow rings have been diverted in that area. There is a small bubble hole on the inner side of the flange. The flange is of the translucent 'streamed' type.
An exact GPS locality can be given for this tektite.
