I hate to rain on your parade but being from Wyoming where the bucking horse is on our state seal, on a bunch of license plates for a zillion years of our history, well, that is a pile of equine road apples, not a pile of meteorites! Reminds me of the Holbrook dilemma, try taste testing them there carbonaceous varmints! Best laugh of the day,

Subject: [meteorite-list] Re: Neuschwanstein<--First Find Photo and SALE
Not many list members were aware, but my son and I were on the scene in April hunting for this meteorite. While the first suspected finds were actually bitumen/ asphalt --(any expert should be able to distinguish asphalt from a real meteorite,Duh!) and the discussion drug on and on on in the list, we quietly sequestered away the main mass and fragments and am offering list members first selection now that the classification has been completed. Virtually every piece is fully crusted. It was a miracle I was able to get it back through customs.
We are only reporting this now that the 18 month limitation to resend a contract have fully expired. The farmer who owned the land seemed bemused that we would offer to by it from him but he happily took our euros, but he hadn't heard about the meteorite. I guess he was happy to have it moved out of his way. I felt a little guilty not telling him the whole story.
I've embargoed this photo long enough. It is the main mass /in situ/ however the coordinates are being withheld pending another recovery attempt. < http://www.epix.net/~jonee/neu1strewn.jpg>
After the first of the year, we will be offering some of this find starting at $255 per gram and up, depending on cutting losses and shrinkage. Please let me know what size you are interested in and we'll try to cut to order.
