Abstract
The concentrations of chlorine, sulfur, fluorine and carbon have been determined by pyrohydrolytic-ion chromatographic analysis in tektites. The concentrations in tektites from different localities with the exception of Muong Nong showed chemical similarities for F, Cl and S. Median values were 32 ppm, F, 10 ppm Cl and 3 ppm S. Muong Nong tektites contained 230 ppm F, 170 ppm Cl and 10 ppm S. Carbon values were more variable ranging from 50 to 160 ppm in nine tektite samples. The abundance of these elements is much lower than in Earth crustal materials indicating that their production from such materials requires a severe loss of volatiles.
