Get out your calculator.

Hi Steve,
I took the liberty to do the math for you. Assume a radius of say 2.5 kilometers and to keep it simple and conservative, assume the cone is flat. So:(2500meters)x(2500meters)x(3.14[pi])x(2.6meters average thickness)x(3 tonnes per cubic meter [rock density])/2=76,537,500 tonnes potential tonnage in one semi-circular cone sheet. IMO there are two and maybe three semi-circular cone sheets. Don't worry, I put new batteries in my calculator.
regards
