One of the ironic details concerning Valera was the ranch owner's
nonchalance over the event. A physician, he reasoned that deaths
necessarily resulted from rocks falling from the sky. (Reasonable.)
It was a Venezuelan astronomy professor who realized the significance
of the event and interviewed the family and ranch hands.
Valera's value has been compromised as a result of an initial
inexpensive offering---an unimaginable absurdity. (And I'm in-part
to blame.)

photos of the owner of Worden holding the piece, a pic of the garage
roof and the car that was smashed. I think I still have the
cancelled check!
A signed affidavit is always nice. I know Darryl Pitt provided that
with every chunk of Valera he sold.

Hello,
(I really meant to stay out of that discussion, but.............)
Yes, there were two Valera stones, one hammered a cow, the other one
simply
impacted the ground.
Now, when you buy a piece of Valera, how do you know that you are
getting a
piece of the cow-killer? No blood on it, I believe.
And the question applies to most of the other "hammers" on the
market. The
only probable exceptions being pieces with a bit of paint, red for
Peekskill or
Worden, yellow for one of the Park Forest. The rest.....???????????
I just sold a very nice slice of Valera, I most certainly did not
present it
as a hammer.
Just my opnion.

As it regards Venezuela's extraterrestrial hammering.....Valera is a
two stone fall.

Agreed, Valera is way under priced and underappreciated for a single
stone fall...let alone a cow killer that is often sold with copies
of the affidavit.
Peekskill, Claxton, Sylacauga, maybe it's a U.S. thing, Valera
should be in the mix.

Make that on the rocks....
As long as the only meteorite that has been extensively documented
to have killed an animal sells for just $10/g (Valera)---any notion
of a value-added for a hammering rests with the truly hammered....
