Hi Jose, and all, As to the 10x10x10mm cubes you wrote: > Perhaps the T on the cube stands for "Top"? > What about the other letters? Yes, the T stands for "Top". The other letters are B, E, N, W, S - so guess what? They stand for:
B = Bottom E = East N = North W = West S = South The cube is not only used as a scale (at least not in the documentation of Antarctic finds), but also to indicate the exact spatial location of the meteorite at his find location. Good idea, isn't it ;-? However, I've seen more than one case (in non-Antarctic use) where the photographer obviously wasn't aware of this "secondary function" of the cube. Hope I helped clearing this issue beyond its arithmetic implications. As far as I'm concerned I have NO idea why some folks still stick to anachronistic measures such as "inch", "foot", or "yard". Time to adopt to the metric system, isn't it ;-? BTW, these cubes ARE metric, at least the original ones used by the ANSMET.
