		BC1 Cylindrical type with flattened ends. wt = 5.2 grams, 32mm long, 10mm wide. $30US
		RC1 Large round core sharp rim wt = 20 gms 30mm diameter x 20mm deep $120US
		RC2 Large shallow round core surface sand abraded 32mm x 18mm wt = 22 grams $90US
		RC3 SOLD small round deep core. Nice classic shape in good condition wt = 9 gms 22mm x 17mm $55US
	Left - small oval core with very sharp features in excellent condition wt = 4. 9 gms 21mm x 12mm $25US

	OC2 This is a large oval core which shows the typical clearly defined ridge on one side (above) but on the other side the ridge has 'slipped' to appear on the 'bottom' (see photo left) due to a rotation during flight. Also peculiar 'scratch marks', across the top may have been due to rotation in flight or maybe this one was carried and used by aboriginies? These large tektites were often carried by aborigines as sacred objects. Good condition - no chips. wt = 27. 6 gms 45mm long x 26mm wide x 17mm deep $150US

		Above and left , five views of a classic round core indicator with parts of the stress shell still remaining demonstrating how the core shapes were formed by spallation (flaking) as opposed to the flanged types where the tektite glass melted and flowed forming flow ridges and flanges. This is a nice specimen for a collection wt = 9. 3 gms 22mm x 15mm $75US SOLD


DL1 Dumbbell SOLD wt = 5.4 grams. 43mm long, 4mm deep waist, 9mm deep ends, 11mm wide ends, 7mm wide waist. Above left - posterior side , above - right anterior side. Left - side view. A beautiful slender waisted dumbbell with faint flow ridges and a sharp equatorial flange rim indicating a stable orientation on entry. Slender waisted dumbbells like this rarely survive intact! $350US


BC2 SOLD wt = 9.1 grams, 33mm long, 12mm wide. This cylindrical type (above and left) did not form into the usual boat core for this primary shape probably due to unstable flight. It may have had a collision as it entered the atmosphere (it has a couple of deeper 'dents') sending it into a wobble or spin forming a complicated pattern of flow ridges and scallopping. Good condition $120US
		BL1 This is a small boat lens slightly tending to a dumbell shape. It has a peculiar etched surface with spherical grooving. wt = 1. 6 gms 20mm x 8mm x 5mm. $35US
