[meteorite-list] Bricks from the Nininger Museum

[JKGwilliam]

They are not bricks.  Bricks are made from clay and usually pressed 
into a mold of some type for uniformity.  The rock used to build the 
Meteorite Museum was sandstone found in the area.  It varies in 
thickness and is cleaved to make the sizes needed for a particular 
application.  I personally have a piece that shows a definite wave pattern.

Best,
John Gwilliam
