Abstract
The Australasian strewn‐field contains a radial sequence of tektite shapes ranging from unmodified impactite (Muong Nong type), through dumb‐bells and discs (thailandites, indochinites), and spheres (phillipinites, billitonites, and javanites) to ablated button shapes (australites). This sequence extends from a suspected impact area in northeast Kampuchea following an approximate southeasterly bearing to southeastern Australia and Tasmania. The possible impact area appears to be surrounded by Neogene basalts, which are younger than the tektites, and may have been generated by the impact event.
