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
