I have found in collecting artifacts that if one part of the story doesn't make sense or the explanation is long-winded, stay away. This fall is too important to have people substituting Murchison (another very important fall) or charcoal briquets. I hope the playing field remains clean but I now remain very cautious after the many instances of a few bad apples surrounding other recent falls.
That being said, I hope a large piece is found soon by someone with impeccable character!

I was contacted yesterday by a woman who told this story. ==================================== Good morning, Randy. I live in Lotus, CA and have attached a picture of a meteorite I found on my driveway on 4/29/12. It has been confirmed by a geologist from UNLV, and weighed, per attached photo. I'm not sure what to do with this. The geologist offered me $2,000 cash on the spot. ==================================== Here's the photo: http://meteorites.wustl.edu/images/2012-04-25_CA_CM_chondrite.jpg 4.26 g ===================================== I told her that $2000 for a 4-g stone was a good price. I think that she must have talked to a fake geologist because I don't know any real geologists who carry $2000 in their pocket. She hasn't been back in touch with me so I don't know what she's done with the stone.
