   LIBYAN DESERT GLASS

  Libyan Desert, Eqypt

   Large chunks of  natural glass were first

   Evidence indicates that the glass was formed

   by a high velocity impact of a large body over

   28 million years ago. Lack of included mater-

   ial and some unusual properties of the glass

     leave many questions on the origin of this glass unanswered.
