It was discovered in 1906 when workers were moving earth. It fell in Northern Sweden, near the current border with Finland. Its estimated time of arrival is 1 million years. But Muonionalusta is thought to be the meteorite that has been the longest on Earth. This is very unusual, as most if not all of the craters where tektites may have formed were underwater before impact.Īlso, partially melted zircons have been discovered inside a handful of tektites. All meteorites are supposed to be older than the oldest terrestrial rock. Tektites are amongst the "driest" rocks, with an average water content of 0.005%. Tektites are typically black or olive-green (such Libya Glass), and their shape varies from rounded (spherical) to irregular (splash from or tear drops etc.).
