Hello All,

The shoe seems to fit exactly. Here's an excerpt from Buchwald:

"Arlington and Tawallah Valley are perhaps the *flattest meteorites*
known. Arlington is bounded by two almost plane-parallel surfaces
and its greatest dimensions are 39 x 39 x 2.5 cm, but the *average
thickness is only 2 cm*."

Buchwald V.F. (1975) Handbook of Iron Meteorites, Volume 2, pp. 272-273.

Cheers,

Bernd
