"I was wondering if anyone has a
list of John O'Keefe's tektite
articles. (I think) I have four
different articles, then his book
and Povenmire's book(s)."

That is a question that I do not have a complete
answer to. If you count all of his publications, both
tektite and non-tektites and including abstracts, I
would **guess** that O'Keefe has 70 to 80
publications.
Of these publications, the articles, not including
obvious abstracts, which pertain to tektites in some
form or fashion are:

It is certain that this is **not** a complete list,
but it shows that Dr. O'Keefe has published
extensively about tektites.
