| Abstract: | A possible crater representing the source of Australasian tektites is identified in northeastern Cambodia at longitude, 106° 34′E., and latitude, 13° 55′N. The crater is an incomplete oval ring of hills 10 km long and 6 km wide located near the center of the Muong Nong-type tektite strewnfield. The morphology of the structure may have been significantly changed by relatively recent erosion and deposition processes. The types of rocks in the area of the crater are consistent with the compositional requirements for the tektite source rocks. Collection of impactite material from the vicinity of the structure will be required to confirm its association with Australasian tektites. |
