Greetings all,
The Beaver Meteorite was used to prop open a door at a local jail house for
40 some years. Cost for the specimen was finding another stone that cold be
use to prop same door open which the buyer found in the form of a chunk of
cement because rocks in the area were non-existent. Best!

Souslovo,Russia
OK meteorite fans, I have seen a list of "Hammer Stones" , how about
"Toolbox meteorites"? I'll start with the easiest one, The Tucson Ring
which was
used as an anvil.
Years from now I hope people remember it was Martin who came up with the
term and knowing Martin, it won't be long before he has amassed a killer
Toolbox
meteorite collection.
Also, yes Martin, I would have a blast with the Souslovo but your slice
is
to big for me to get on the polish equipment.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for reading it. Normally I pass on recent finds for my
collection, but the shape and story of Souslovo was too good to skip.
I made up the term "Toolbox Meteorite" (not to be confused with NASA's
Toolkit "Meteorite" that should be arriving any time now). I needed a
name for meteorites that are used as tools, whether doorstops,
paperweights, or wheelchocks prior to entering our collection.
However, I have seen a few continue on as tools even after entered
into a meteorite collection catalog, usually in the role of a
doorstop.
Tom, I wish I still lived close to you. I think you would have a blast
scoping Souslovo with all its chondritic oddities.
Best,
Martin
