Hi Martin,
Your estimates give an average density of 7.54 g/cm3 (7.54 ton/m3) for
the whole kit and kaboodle.
That's about 93 cubic meters of 'rites which compacted, theoretically
makes a cube with a sides of 4.5 meters.
That is double the size of my bedroom ... just to find an adamant
baling press - a car crusher machine like in the movies that turns them
into cubes - during collectors', treasure hunters', scientists' and
bureaucrats' rioting and protests.
Best wishes
Doug

A Meter cube for meteorites?
Hmm exists:

Shht Captain, maths:
The Bulletin database has listed 700 metric tons of meteorites.
90% of them are iron meteorites. Let's say density 8grams/ccm.
Rest shall be stones. 3.4g/ccm.
How large have the dimensions of a cube to be, to house all meteoritic
material,
if they would be a solid block?
Best!
Martin

Hi Richard and list,
Only the US, Burma and one other small country use the inches
And feet scale. The entire scientific community uses the metric scale.
1 CM cube is the only size I have ever seen - it would seem a Meter
Cube may be useful under some circumstance, but very few of the
World's meteorites would warrant such.
Best wishes, Michael
