Tektites?

1)I would risk assuming that the first two stones in your photo are the same stones as in my first post and these are the same as the long stones. The ones that are light inside, the ones that I called silt. And they do not look like this stone of mine, which I compare with your photo of indochinite.
It's very interesting to see what's inside those first two stones from your last photo.

2)and the stone that I compare with the photo from the wiki about Darwin glass - to me it is sooooo similar.
 

the bottom stone in this group of photos has a similarity in shape to your first two stones from the last photo. and my stones are all the same. and this is the group of the first post and the long ones.
but on my face these pits are less pronounced and smoother..

maybe this is not correct BUT IT IS REALLY USEFUL, it seems to me, for understanding tektites... specifically about tunnels and about the sizes of pits and about triangular tunnels...


oh. the shapes here are interesting too..

Red-Coat,​

and here is also a straw - an oval stone, with holes from bubbles, convex on all sides, except for one side - as for me - the front one. and there is a dent there.

I didn't say it explicitly - both "stones" can stand in those areas, as for me, the mass is balanced (shape) and the dent allows them to stand.

hi, oh I noticed another straw again:
here in the video (screenshot from video) it talks about different diameters of holes on different sides of the "stone". then there are graphs, etc.
While I was looking through my stash I found this :
"stone" № foto № 11-14
11 - inside the bowl
12 - on top
13,14 - on the sides
form - flat\concave, with the center of mass shifted to one side

"stone" № 21-23 pear shape with a clear dent when hot

"stone" № 24-29 from different sides. holes from small bubbles on one side, and holes from large bubbles on the other side.

"stone" № 30 Almost all stones repeat this pattern: on one side smaller bubbles, on the other larger ones.
! I do not consider all the "stones" in photo 30 to be correct... I think some are just flint, and flint in a shell.

I have just black glasses BUT without bubbles and with a smooth shell.. more like regular flint or absidian. there are transparent ones, there are opaque ones, and there are some like this with bubbles, different shapes, and with a warped shell from the bubbles.

"stone" № 27 and it's far-fetched - but in the fracture I see layers. alternation of black and yellow areas. this video also describes such formation and reasons foto № 31 from video. Well, what I have is very similar to what is there, as for me.

"stone" № 41-44.
It's hard to convey the shape in a photo, but if you need to, I'll shoot a video.
form - convexe\flat

p.s.: oh and while I was writing all this I noticed something else - in photo 42 it's the lower part, convex, and according to the video the lower part has a larger diameter hole. photo 44 the stone is on the upper side, the holes are smaller in diameter and the surface is smoother... It seems to match the description in the video
