Hi,
I feel a need to "weigh-in" here.
--Keith has (gratefully) embraced the role of the posting of images
which enthrall. This is not about Keith---pro or con---it's about
whether a Cape York cube should exist.
--While i nearly always disagree with Matteo's perspective (and I am
about to do so once again), I understand his concern about cubing a
meteorite. It would seem that such concerns should be applied on a
case by case basis, and I believe should not be applied in the case
of Cape York.
For starters, there are how many TONS of Cape York represented in how
many masses?
Moreover, last month I had the pleasure of visiting the Geological
Museum at the University of Copenhagen, and there are multiple ingots
of material which have been subdivided by scientists at the Museum.
I personally believe this is a non issue and a gorgeous representation.
And what about those Giants?! ;-)

That cube looks awesome. Cant wait to see it in person.
Thanks for the photo Keith

I agree with Keith. This cube is a wonderful specimen that shows
better than ordinary (not that meteorites are ordinary) slices. The
real shame in meteorite specimen processing over cutting. This cube
could have been cut into several slices but some one decided to
preserve it as a cube.

Hello List
I can't understand why you think this is a horrible end for a
meteorite.
You can see the 3 dimensional Widmanstatten perfect and the shape of
the troilite inclusions, better than in any 2D slice.
No materiel was wasted in getting the cube shape, other than normal
saw and grind waste, It was a large long brick, after removing
several slices it's a cube.
I think the Karl's did a great job. I'll post more later this week.
Thanks for your time
Keith
