Hello Eduardo, Anne, and List,
That employee was not too far off target, ... only problem his source of
information is outdated. His reference was probably the, ...roll of drums,
the Third Edition of the Catalogue of Meteorites (1966), page 449:
 
"Sikhote-Alin, Eastern Siberia... Iron. Granular hexahedrite, or coarsest
octahedrite (4.9 mm)...The so-called craters are mostly only impact holes,
and the fall appears to be a granular hexahedrite rather than an octahedrite
(L. LaPaz, Popular Astronomy, Northfield, Minnesota, 1949, vol. 57, p. 88).

Hi Ruben,
 
 No reason to be confused! You're right ... it is a "typo".
 
 Cheers,
 
 Bernd
