Made me think that while I enjoy watching the heavens are teaming with
meteoroids, an experience in the Underworld is like walking into a slag
furnace. Take a look at this terrible meteowrong.
Best wishes and Great Health,

because I did not notice any official confirmation yet. Also and in

Hi Darren, Mike and List,
I couldn't have said it better myself! It takes a huge investment to limp
away from Morocco with a planetary or other rare meteorite these days. I
would have said walk away, but after having to give up your right arm,
left leg, first born, etc. to get one of these.
Don't forget the hundreds of thousands of dollars the
Moroccans made in trading terrestrial rocks presented
as meteorites or not delivering at all!

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
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. Again, everyone has made out on the
Morocco meteorite rush, science, nomads, middlemen,
airlines, hotels, and collectors.

Hello Jeff, List,
That does appear to deserve a second serious look for the concerned, and I
assume the Bulletin Supplement isn't included (which basically ignores the
classification work, coordinate recording and compositional publication as
science that counts). Of course these are for

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.
