[meteorite-list] Martin Horejsi's The Accretion Desk Souslovo, Russia

[STARSANDSCOPES at aol.com]

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
