Hello Carl, Bill, and List, "it would be worth less per gram the larger the size though"
I beg to differ ... at least in this specific case! Just try to find any Park Forest meteorites for sale right now (of course, I don't know if there are any private or anonymous sellers) from our well-known, reliable sources, it's nearly impossible to find any offered online. The "unreported" new house smasher is a different affair. It has a weird smell to it. Such a hefty specimen would probably have made it into the media a long time ago already. But: a typical Park Forest individual will probably have certain tell-tale characteristics that "Park Forest Experts" like Steve Witt, John Sinclair, Paul Sipiera, Steve Arnold, Geoff Notkin et al. will readily recognize! Around "2 or 3 pounds" sounds like that could be the 1006 gr Kolkebeck specimen (?) which landed in the rain gutter (See: Meteorite, Aug 2003,Vol. 9, No.3, pp. 08-14). Best wishes, Bernd ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
