Mr. B. P. Greg on Meteorolites or Aerolites, 



meeting of the British Association, ingeniously suggested that its 

 disruption might have occurred when the planet had arrived at some 

 such condition or state of tension (whilst cooling) as that known to 

 exist in a Prince Rupert drop, which, as is well known, shivers to 

 pieces on the slightest injury to the surface.
