[meteorite-list] Hodges Sylacauga Stone ( was What makes a hammer ahammer?

[Dave Gheesling]

Robert & All,
I'll run over there sometime soon (from next door in Georgia) and take a few
photos.  Anita Westlake, another www.meteoriteassociationofgeorgia.org
member (the president, in fact), has a nice specimen that looks to have come
from the core Steve described, and I'll bet she can be talked into a little
road trip...
All best,
Dave

Steve, Michael and all,

  Thanks for the additional information, Steve. Dr. King's quote does seem
to put a different light on things. 

  Just out of curiosity, has ANY member here ever seen THE stone (the "Holy
Grail" of hammers I guess) in person? (Perhaps you, Martin with your
exceptional interest in historical specimens?? ... I did see your Met. Times
article where you discuss your Top 10 Smithsonian meteorites and you listed
a slice of their Sylacauga specimen).  Does any member live close enough to
it at the Alabama Museum of Natural History to give us a report and/or some
photos? There doesn't seem to be very many listed anywhere on the
Internet.... at least that I can find. I'm sure a lot of us would love to
see some high quality photos of it!

  Best,
  Robert Woolard
