Although destroyed by re-entry in 1977, some fragments survied to fall in the Indian Ocean and Australia. This piece of one of Skylab's oxygen tanks was found in the Australian outback near the shire of Esperance. The municipaity fined the US $400 for littering. This fine is yet to be repaid.
One large fragment was displayed in the 1977 Miss Universe pageant in Perth, Australia. I do not know if this was the piece, but I remember seeing the pageant and I beleive it is.
