Hi Walter and List
Maybe this is something the IMCA can help with along with the =
meteoritical society, we could supply the institues around the world =
with the names and contacts of those poeple willing to be known by such =
places. Even photographs. In this way the institues would have a record =
of known researchers, dealers and collectors in an electronic format =
thats easy to access. This would hamper some of these thefts, surely =
wouldn't stop them, but at least it would give the institues something =
to work from and maybe make easier these trades for research.
Although I doubt I will ever get to most of these places, it would be =
nice to know that the curators would be able to tell who I was from =
someone else posing as me.
And, this would be an easy enough project, much easier than trying to =
track down and bring to justice the black marketeers.

  Hello Everyone,

  Many thanks to Sergey Vasiliev, who translated the page for me and has =

  ... In 1991 in Australia was found 350 grams ureilite Nullarbor 010. 1 =
gram of it was sent to Max Plank Institute for analysis. The rest was =
lost. Two years later "well known cheater" Ron Farrell said the new =
meteorite was found. That was also ureilite with the only weight of 349 =
grams. Farrell said that it was found in Mexico. Meteorite got the name =
Nuevo Mercurio (b). Two stones (1g from australia and another from =
Mexico) had suspected the same structure, texture and composition. Most =
of scientists thought that there are two pieces of the same stone. That =
story is not the best of Farrell's stories. In 1995 that man showed up =
in Egypt museum. He said that he is from Yale University and he would =
like to get two museum specimens (both from Mars) for detail study - the =
price for both is more than two million dollars. He had luck to get =
those stones. Finally the Egyptian authorities found out that the man =
with name Farrell is not working in Yale and never did. Something like: =
Meteorite business is so profitable that those kind of frauds had been =
done [sorry but my Czech is not perfect also ;-)] Only for the last =
three years there were six "martian" meteorites (all from privat =
collections) recognized as Eath basalts. Something like: The thiefs =
doesn't care about it. [I have no idea why this sentense is here but it =

Paris; FOCUS, London]. For the same period of time that was reported 128 =
stolen meteorites. On the Paris meteorite exhibition in 1996 two =
meteorites were stolen: one from Mars and one from Moon. The one from =
the moon belongs to National Institute of Polar Research (Tokyo). =
Something like: Farrell also tryed to get a piece like that. In 1997 he =
went to Rio de Janeiro National Museum where he tryed to exchange small =
meteorite (priced at $29,000) for the Eath rock. He was catched at the =
airport. Stolen meteorite was in his boot. That is a funny one: And even =
he was judged for two years in jail, he got a chance to escape and now =
he is hiding somewhere.

  That's it.
