Paul writes:
Buchwald tells us:
Two-thirds of the mass is preserved in the University of Arizona. A drill hole penetrates from the surface to the center of the mass (small black arrow in photo 1).

The main mass, in the Mineralogical Museum of the University of Arizona, Tucson, now measures 28 x 16 x 11 cm. and weighs 28.5 kg.

The piece is currently on display in the basement of the Flandrau Planetarium on the campus of the U of A.

It took me a couple of seconds to realize that the teardrop-shaped artifact in the middle of the slice was actually the bottom of the drill hole, exposed in the slicing process.
