I love that thing!! I first read about it in the early 80's and always wanted to try to find it. I wish the Petersen Museum had searched for it and found it and brought it back. It's probably on the bottom of the ocean now since the Ross ice shelf has broken up. I guess the last time it's been seen was in the late 50's.

An 8.5-million-pound rock that fell from a ridge onto a Colorado highway will be turned into a landmark, Gov. Jared Polis announced. The rock will remain on Highway 145 between Cortez and Telluride, and the road will be rebuilt around it. The boulder, which is the size of a two-story building, tumbled from a cliff 2,000 feet above the roadway, CDOT officials said.

The new landmark boulder will be dubbed "Memorial Rock," in honor of Memorial Day Weekend, when it fell, officials said. Leaving the boulder where it fell will save taxpayers around $200,000 in blasting and cleanup costs, Polis said.

Michelin has introduced a prototype of a "puncture-proof tire system" that has no traditional sidewall and carries the vehicle's load courtesy of a newly developed fiberglass material.

The tires, known as Uptis (for Unique Puncture-Proof Tire System), will be tested first on the Chevrolet Bolt EV on roads in Michigan.

The tires could be available commercially on passenger vehicles as early as 2024, Michelin said.
