Here's one of the pieces of Bruneau from Tony/catmandewe which showed nothing
on the outside. A few slabs off the chunk and voila . . .

cab is 1 7/8" x 1 5/8"

I never noticed him until I re-sized the pic just now, but there's Pogo smack dab
in the middle of the slab!

Consider the Earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard,
the distance from the King’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand.
One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger
erases human history.
