Trinitite, from the Trinity test on July16th, 1945 which is my birthday (1969). Oh yes, isotopes of Europium. Same signature as the uranium "Little Boy" dropped on Hiroshima. Nagasaki was Plutonium. My grandfather worked on Tinian in 1945 as a Staff Sergeant in the 6th Bomb Group and the B-29 'Big Joe" was named after him. He went through Hiroshima very soon after the bombing. I have a lot more data and information about Kikkawa - should you care to see it follow the links below:

Artifacts, Nice!!….Imagine all of those items the G.I.'s brought home….and how much of it was thrown out by their descendants who did not have a clue. I asked General Tibbets if he had to do it all over again…."In a heartbeat"……My wife's grandfather welded the bomb casings and his wife worked at the OSS/CIA. No one knew any of this till after her death. She left Redacted files and papers They were old school and never talked about it. My wife's Mother an 2 to 3 other ladies designed and crafted the Doolittle bombing map of Tokyo.

This is Kiyoshi Kikkawa (1913-19870. Bottom left shows him signing his autobiography in his "Atomic Souvenir shop" which is shown in the image following. This is only a small part - I have over 100 pieces.
