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

[al mitterling]

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!
