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 = is also translation from another sourse - one of those: CA M`INT=C9RESSE = 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.
