Flores-Castro, N. I. Jimenez-Martinez, and M. 
Mendoza-Espinosa, 2008, On the Libyan Desert Silica 
Glass (LDSG) transport model from a hypothetical 
impact structure. PIS-01 General contributions to 
impact structures, International Geological 
Congress Oslo 2008, Oslo, Norway. 

"Fragments of this glass are mostly scattered upon 
the exposed bedrock of Nubia group (cretaceous 
sandstone), on a large surface area along wide 
corridors between dunes of the Great Sand Sea 
(SW of Egypt). This distribution is somewhat the 
result of the tektite fluvial transport occurring 
throughout the Oligocene-Miocene boundary."
