>From GlabalTVEdmonton:  (wonder who they are referring to at ASU?!)

"The man who says he found a meteorite on the banks of the North  Saskatchewan 
River was disappointed by researchers at the University of Alberta.  Neil 
Barrass says that he was sure his find was a meteorite from themoment he found 
it.  However, when the findings were presented to staff at the University of 
Alberta, it was revealed that the specimen was in fact ironstone, which looks 
remarkable like a meteor but, in fact, isn't.   Previously, contacts with 
Arizona State University has said that the rock appears legit and such finds 
are worth about $10,000 per gram."
