Reminds me of an article on the stock market from yesterday: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,436435,00.html "It's in people's minds," Shiller explains. "We're just recording a measure of what people think the stock market is worth. What the people who are willing to trade today who are very, very few people are actually trading at. So we're just extrapolating that and thinking, well, maybe that's what everyone thinks it's worth." Works the same way for meteorites, I'd say. ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
