A tektite is a rare natural glass that forms when an extra-terrestrial body struck the Earth. Tektites can be found in at least five widely separated locations on Earth, which are called strewn fields. There are four known strewn fields: the 35.5 Ma North American strewn field (linked to the Chesapeake crater, North America), the 14.4 Ma Central European strewn field (linked to the Ries crater in Germany), the Ivory Coast strewn field of unknown age (linked to the Bosumtwi crater in Ghana, West Africa), and the 0.8 Ma Australasian strewn field (source crater still unknown, although a large crater in Western Cambodia, Lake Tonle Sap, has been proposed). The last strewn field is known for the distribution of the biggest tektite group (i.e., philippinites, billitonites, javanites, indochinites). A tektite on Havelock Island in India, has also been recently identified. This is the first tektite reported from the Andaman and Nicobar islands. This tektite is composed of indochinite, having a typical dark colour and diagnostic chemical composition. Morphologically, a lack of cracks and abraded edges, both indicate short transport and rapid shallow burial.
