Indochinite

Indochine is a type of tektite, which is a natural glass formed by the melting of the Earth's crust during a meteorite impact. These tektites are found in the Indochina Peninsula region, comprising countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar and Malaysia. Indochinese tektites are usually dark black to brown, opaque. Their age is estimated to be approximately 700,000 years. Size wise, mainly pieces up to 200g have been found, larger ones are rarer.

The Tonle Sap Crater has been proposed as a possible mother crater for Indochinese, but is not confirmed. It is located in the Tonle Sap Lake area of Cambodia, although scientists are still debating its connection to the origins of the Indochinese. Some studies have suggested that this crater may have been the site of the original meteorite impact that caused the formation of these tektites, but concrete evidence of this connection is lacking.
