Hello All, I believe those nice little centimeter cubes can be attained from Bob Verish. Thanks, Tom Peregrineflier <>< The proudest member of the IMCA 6168 ----- Original Message ----- From: Svend Buhl To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 3:35 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] meteorite photography scales Dear List,   just a brief question concerning scale-reference objects used in specimen photography. Zapping through meteorite gallerys and catalogues one comes across the strangest objects used in order to give a reference on the size of meteorites. Recourcefulness reaches from camel skulls to smoking cigars. Beside this ingenuity Im particularly interested to learn about the small black cubes which I find very suitable for detailed documentation. Is it a metric scale or do they represent an inch? What do the engraved alphabetic characters stand for? Are these objects some kind of alienated tokens that usually serve in a scrabble-like board game environment? And is it yet imagineable to purchase such o! bject of desire, even overseas???   Please excuse the somewhat trivial subject but I would truly be thankful if someone could initiate me into the circle of the "knowing".   regards   Svend   www.niger-meteorite-recon.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] IMCA 6540     ______________________________________________________________________________ 38xTestsieger - WEB.DE FreeMail - Deutschlands beste E-Mail macht E-Mail schreiben zum Erlebnis! http://f.web.de/?mc=021127 ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
