G'day Graham,
Here's a list I compiled some years ago from various posts to the list
following a large a origins/parent-body thread. I'm not sure if those
discussions are still in the archives though.

Hi Graham and all,
Here is a listing of possible parent bodies to our meteorites. If anyone
has a more complete listing and would care to share it with me on or off
list I would appreciate it. I am sure there a quite a number of suspect
parent bodies but not enough data to support a pairing.

that's quite interesting. They must have switched their reference scale
somewhere in the late seventies. There are a number of later ANSMET photos from
the eighties that already show 1cm cubes.
For example here with Mac Alpine Hills 88104 and MAC 88105:
Hello Svend,
NASA used the 1 inch cube in the Lunar Receiving Lab for photographic
reference of all Apollo lunar samples. At the time, it was referred to as a
'Scale Block.' I believe this is the only time the 1 inch cube was employed
anywhere in the world. In the LRL, centimeters would be

Mike,
the Scherff-cube is missing in your collection,
was the most used meteorite-cube before the Buhl-cube.

Stefan is correct! It appears they used both sizes. What is strange is that
the most famous rock, the Genesis Stone, is pictured with a 1 inch cube,
similar to mine. I can also find Apollo 11 and Apollo 17 samples
photographed with 1 inchers. I have no clue as to why they would mix up
these sizes
Talk about a perfect piece to help one visualize an object plunging thru the
atmosphere, vibrating intensely and slowly spinning to and fro struggling to
maintain orientation.
Thank you Svend and Michael, a picture worth thousands of words.

I hate to sound a sour note, but these artifacts are

that folks make them accurate to +/- 0.001 inch or

expansion, and so forth, but that is purely an exercise

Well, Sterling, I'd say: the presence of a first-class precise scale cube in
a photo marks the transition between relative and absolute, measurement and
scale, thing and concept, with other words: it tells us something about
platonic ideas.

Hi Sterling, yeah I agree with you to a point. However

Since we are on the subject I thought everyone might want to see the
