TM,

Tektites are formed in freefall (in the atmosphere) and cool to solid before hitting the ground. Notice the clear glass like appearance and inclusions both inside and on the surface. The dots are actually spheres of melt glass that collided with the falling, already solidified base. These teardrops are actually broken halves of a spinning dogbone shape which formed in the cloud from a rapidly spinning glob. Many pieces of ground based Trinitite contain perfectly formed spheres of dark (appear black) tektites (genesis from iron I'm told), some I have are inside the still hot but solidified surface craters that have already burst from hot gasses from the soil.?

Red Trinitite was formed by the jets of copper plasma travelling down the sensor feed coaxial cable bundles as can be seen in the first few microseconds of the flashball forming. These look like spikes on the still small ball. Steel guy wires on other tower shots exhibit similar spike features.

Only a small portion of the plutonium was consumed, the rest still exists in the Trinitite and somewhat in the fallout. Unlike the radio-iodine's, cesium and strontium fission products which would gasify easily,? plutonium and uranium probably didn't propagate to far away places (my opinion).

Ground based Trinitite contains the Europium isotopes, which were mostly formed from natural europium in the soil by neutron activation, helped by water in the soil from early morning rainfall before the shot. Ordinary water is of course hydrogenous (hydrogen bearing) and hydrogen is a good moderator (slowing down of) fast neutrons. Moderated neutrons have a much easier time of activating other atoms than fast ones.
