Men have visited the moon. At enormous expense of wealth and endeav or, they have brought back samples of rocks and dust from the lunar surface. Study Strange Stones Before and during these mighty endeavors, geologists were studying strange stones called tektites right here on the earth. They are small glassy stones that measure half an inch to several inches. Their glossy colors range dark browns and through greens to jet black. As a rule, their shiny surfaces are pitted and grooved with scars. They are composed of the usual minerals found in the earth's crust. But their extraordinary shapes suggest that they have experienced unearthly tures. adven- ' and what stupendous forces molded their symmetrical shapes. Most experts agree that tektites were formed in cataclysmic collisions that melted masses of minerals and pelted pieces of the molten mixture. Obviously they were created by enormous heat and tossed around at high speed by tremendous forces. A dramatic event of this kind is known to occur from the stupendous impact of a major meteonte on the earth. At present there .s not enough evidence to prove either theory about the ongin of tekites. But it would be amazing indeed if they really are lunar samples that arrived long 'ages before we dreamed of the Apollo missions. Some of Europes tektites have been there for 15 million years.
