I think you got the gold price a bit high... it is $1266 per troy ounce
or $39 per gram.
Then 50 times their weight in gold is $1970 per gram. I've seen higher

Granted, not many meteorites would reach that price but a witnessed
lunar fall might do it.

Probably the cutter committed one or two cardinal sins :
1) used anything other than distilled water as a saw coolant
2) didn't bake the specimen immediately after cutting to purge remnant moisture.
Now the specimen is probably suffering from the after-effects of
chlorine contamination.
That's

I might agree with that sentiment if there were enough information to

Valid points Phil... My answer to your question. As many years as it
takes... Just like meteorite hunting, you have to look where they are,
and even if you're looking in the right place, you still might not find
them. ;) (interestingly enough, I think everyone here on-list can relate
to that)
Sorry this sentence should read:
The child could be looking out the [right] window at the wrong time. The
horse could have been there and gone. Or the child could be looking out
the wrong window at the wrong time.

That's an excellent argument for cancelling the silly SETI project. The key
word in your argument is believe. You believe in the existence of exo-life
