The material ejected from the impact crater is heated and fused into glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis batch of tektites are from the Australasian strewn field, which covers the area within the blue region in the map below and is estimated to have been caused by an impact 790,000 years ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Australasian tektites have a similar chemical composition, which is why they are thought to be from the same impact.
