Seven australites � ece�tly discovered along a new road N . of Princetown township on the S. coast of Western V1ctona serve to extend the area of distribution of tektites in the Moon light Head-Port Campbell-Peterborough concentration centres of the Australian strewnfield .. . The state of preservation of the specimens is such that they still reveal some of the features ansmg from the effects of the secondary process of aerodynamic heating and ablation generated during hypersonic transit through the earth's atmosphere . Tertiary processes such as natural solution etching in soils and terrestrial exfoliation that have occurred during the few thousand years the specimens have lain on the earth's surface have somewhat modified the original primary (extraterrestrial) and the secondary (aerodynamic) surfaces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
