Hi Tracy, David and List
There is a 254 lb meteorite with the synonym Philadelphia Iron, but I
don't think that's the same one, since you mention 1793 and this one was
found in 1860 and its listed as the Cleveland meteorite. A 930g fragment is
in the Philadelphia Mus. Acad. Sci. plus some slices,

Tks. for your interesting info.

Hi Hupes and List,
I thought that, for a new meteorite to be given an official

updated if necessary, as more
Well, it has one MAJOR FLAW: According to the seller, this rock does not
photograph well...
What a pity! Otherwise, we could always call it the smiling rock...
I bet that the density of this thick brick is directly proportional to the
density of the seller's brain...
Too much neutron compression??
Yes, I agree Steve,
It's a case to say it - a la Star Wars: MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU!

Interesting concept indeed!

Sorry for the delay in writting back to you.

If this Wales fireball did produce a meteorite, it would be
interesting to find out IF there was any possible sightings from shipping (and
probably from aircrafts too), that might happen to be in the, or close to, the

Regarding my question, thanks to those of you who shared your

...10 millimeters in a cube...2.57 cubes in a inch, etc.
Certainly he means: 10 mm per SIDE...
It's 10 mm = 2.54 In a CUBE there is 10x10x10 mm = 1 cm3
Perhaps the T on the cube stands for Top? What about the other letters?

Again, on a lighter note:
Regarding the 3rd photo of the $450.000 Zagami meteorite in the e-bay site,
I suppose that the flat cube shown goes nicely with the meteorite's shown
value!
Who cares if there is no 1 (vertical mark) visible...perhaps the owner had
in mind a...2D space frame.
