Visibly Incorrect Dimensions/Measurements[edit]

User that posted jpeg states that the dimensions are 2 meters high, 3 meters wide, 1 meter thick. This is not possible given the scale of the block when you look at the grass it is sitting on. Perhaps the user meant to use feet instead of meters, as that would be much more accurate. This should be edited to provide correct dimensions. Myself and another user had previously posted regarding the incorrect dimensions, however, they are both deleted. 17:29, 20 June 2014‎ TheUglyDuckling

de:Benutzer Diskussion:Aka said that it is all ok. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 18:06, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Info states: 8.5 tons. If its density is c. 2 tons/m³, then 8.5 tons are c. 4.25 m³. 2×3×1m are 6 m³. The dimensions are Aka's estimation. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 07:31, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Where is it from?[edit]

I mean, does the German museum say WHERE specifically it is oroginally form? It is a beautiful specimen but it is obviously moved ffrom elsewhere. Type locality would be welcome. Namangwari (talk) 23:15, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
