Abstract

Glassy objects of spherical, oval, dumbbell, teardrop, and irregular shapes have been found in a deep-sea sediment core taken off the Ivory Coast. They occur in a layer of sediment that was apparently deposited about 800,000 years ago. Their geographic location, appearance, and physical properties suggest that they are microtektites and that they are related to the tektite-strewn field of the Ivory Coast.

摘要

在象牙海岸深海沉积物岩芯中发现了球形、椭圆形、哑铃形、泪滴形和不规则形状的玻璃状物体。它们出现在一层显然是大约 80 万年前沉积的沉积物中。它们的地理位置、外观和物理性质表明它们是微玻璃陨石，与象牙海岸散布着玻璃陨石的区域有关。
