List- Maybe many of the rest of you don't feel this way- but to me it generally seems the news media and television shows are more concerned about a quick buck rather than the science and appreciation for meteorites for what they are- treasures from space that you can hold in your hand. It seems like initially meteorites are viewed as something special and usually wind up "How much is it worth?" after buyers roll in. The doctor in this case tried to maintain the scientific value for all to appreciate while helping the people of Haiti. Then the $$$ was thrown at them and greed seems to be winning out. Sorry for the frustration. Mike
