The origin of the glass is a controversial issue for the scientific community, with many evolving theories. Meteoritic origins for the glass were long suspected, and recent research linked the glass to impact features, such as zircon-breakdown, vaporized quartz and meteoritic metals, and to an impact crater. Some geologists associate the glass not with impact melt ejects, but with melting from meteoric large aerial bursts! The Libyan desert glass has been dated as having formed about 26 million years ago. It was also snapped and used to make tools during the Pleistocene Era!
