Hi Doug and List, I just think the science has not caught up yet with the amount of rare and unusual meteorites to come out of the hot deserts. From a planetary standpoint Martian and Lunar meteorites have been outnumbering Antarctica by more than a 4 to 1 ratio the last ten years. Best Regards,

Jeff, unless this has been covered before, why are hot desert meteorites useless for studying irons? Admittedly, hot desert irons (NWA/Sahara only?) can be counted on the fingers of one hand, but scarcity doesn't affect the study of any other type.The latest Hotmail tweak will not allow me to

Hi Mike and list thought you were to say hundreds, and for you to make thousands and even millions, because if you have to pay $100 automaitically you see that you'll sell at $1000 or more, but if you do not see a profit, you would not pay $100.this is the comerce. Thanks Aziz Michael Farm

Yes, I myself have purchased more than $30,000 I estimate, in terrestrial rocks, which I throw over my fence. Not bad, to sell a worthless rock for thousands of dollars.

Um, not even close! While I have been fortunate in the past with some purchases, these days, it is no longer profitable for me to go to Morocco, thus, last year I was only there two times in conjunction with European trips. Moroccans now want $10-$20 gram for Eucrites, I can pay less for known name
