Dimensions:67cm × 31cm × 14cm (approximate)
Mass:Inconsistent with volumeMeasured: 112.4kgExpected for volume: 29.3kgDiscrepancy: 83.1kg unaccounted
Surface:Standard OB properties. Matte, non-reflective,no magnification structure.
Temperature:Below ambient. Mid-range baseline amongregistered fragments.
Notes:Largest registered fragment by volume.
LOCATION
Status:KNOWN
Region:Western Europe (precise location withheld)
Holder:Institutional (small private research group,not affiliated with any university or government body)
LIQUEFACTION EVENTS
Total on record:2
Events:Both detected instrumentally, not witnessed directly.Holder was not present during either event.Duration of Event 1: unknown (monitoring equipmentwas not running continuously at time of event;the event was inferred from a gap in temperaturerecords consistent with liquid-state behavior)Duration of Event 2: 1 minute, 7 seconds(equipment running; holder notified after the fact)
Trigger:NEGATIVE. Both events occurred outside of anyattempted signal induction. Spontaneous bycurrent understanding, which the Lapidaryacknowledges may not be complete understanding.
Witnesses:0 direct
NOTES
OB-03's two events are the only events in the registry that occurred with no human presence. The Lapidary notes this without concluding that human presence is either necessary or coincidental to liquefaction. The sample size is insufficient.
The fragment holder has requested that the Lapidary install continuous monitoring equipment. This has been done. No events have occurred since installation. The Lapidary notes this also without concluding anything from it.
LIQUEFACTION EVENTS:2
ACTIVE MONITORING:YES (continuous instrumental)
CURRENT STATE:SOLID
