I = think the even if I wasn't a meteorite collector I would not even = consider selling a meteorite that fell through my roof. Just how many = times in the past has this happened? Not many. It is too bad that the weather in Chicago has not been co-operating as = it will be interesting to see how quickly the specimens rust that sit = out in the rainy weather only to be found a week after the fall. It is = possible that the weight of the pristine specimens will be far less = than the total weight of this fall once it is ultimately determined.
