Hi List
...10 millimeters in a cube...2.57 cubes in a inch, etc.
Certainly he means: 10 mm per SIDE...
It's 10 mm = 2.54 In a CUBE there is 10x10x10 mm = 1 cm3
Perhaps the T on the cube stands for Top? What about the other letters?

I would believe most are centimeter cubes. 10 millimeters in a
cube...2.57
cubes in an inch, etc.
Just hair-splitting: I think that should be 2.54, not 2.57?
On a more serious note regarding scale indicators used in meteorite
photo's:
I prefer scale indicators like black-white bars or 1 cm cubes (or even 1
inch cubes) to the frequent habit of another type of size indicator, a
coin.
While perhaps a US resident does not realize this, non-US, e.g. European
residents might not be familiar with the size of a US dime or quarter coin
at all. For them such a size indicator can be quite meaningless.
Especially
meteorite dealers who serve an international public should realize this.
