Hi Darren,

It is hard to tell if your SA is confused in the same way as the 'wheel' SAs discussed earlier. In those pieces, there is a lipping around both major surfaces.

Your piece is more dolphin shaped with lipping sections at several points on various edges. I wonder if your piece fell spinning across its minor axis kind of like an spinning arrow headed toward the ground.

But no matter what, I have a hard time tossing it into the sharpnel pile.

Thanks for sharing.

Martin H.
