Greetings Meteorite Enthusiasts!

Just a quick note to say that the meteorite prices
listed in the book "Falling Stars" that I had spoken
of in my recent post are not "average" prices. A kind
list member pointed out that they represented the
lowest and the highest prices paid for the space
rocks, if I am not mistaken. I hope I have not
confused anybody.

By the way, why doesn't someone ask Mr. Robert Haag
for information about his hunts for Nakhla meteorites
in Egypt? A good chance he may know a lot about what
transpired there during the time of the meteorite
fall. His expedition is mentioned in the famous book
"Rocks From Space", and I recall Mr. Haag
interviewing an old man that almost was supposedly
struck by one of the Martian stones! Thus, Mr. Haag
may know of previously uninterviewed witnesses.
  
Long strewn fields!
