Robert & All, I'll run over there sometime soon (from next door in Georgia) and take a few photos. Anita Westlake, another www.meteoriteassociationofgeorgia.org member (the president, in fact), has a nice specimen that looks to have come from the core Steve described, and I'll bet she can be talked into a little road trip... All best, Dave

Steve, Michael and all, Thanks for the additional information, Steve. Dr. King's quote does seem to put a different light on things. Just out of curiosity, has ANY member here ever seen THE stone (the "Holy Grail" of hammers I guess) in person? (Perhaps you, Martin with your exceptional interest in historical specimens?? ... I did see your Met. Times article where you discuss your Top 10 Smithsonian meteorites and you listed a slice of their Sylacauga specimen). Does any member live close enough to it at the Alabama Museum of Natural History to give us a report and/or some photos? There doesn't seem to be very many listed anywhere on the Internet.... at least that I can find. I'm sure a lot of us would love to see some high quality photos of it!
