All,

Beaver, Oklahoma was used as a Jail door stop. ASU has a plant shucking
tool of some sort made from Toluca, Mexico if I remember correctly.
Leoville, Kansas was used to help weigh down a farm plow. Willamette was used to
as a water bowl in rituals. Axtell, Texas was used as a door stop. Many
were used as door stops and as weights to hold down chicken shed roofs.
Sommervel County, Texas was found in a stone wall, as was Bethune, Colorado as
I recall. One was used to melt down to make gun barrells. The list goes
on and on.

List:

I was wondering if a meteorite would be more desirable if it was used as a
tool; or if this has even been documented? I know there has knives made
from irons, but I'm talking more like an irons being used for some purpose:
perhaps a hammer for pounding. I cannot think of any other examples, but
there may be more.

Thanks,

Greg S.
