No one is getting rich of of selling American meteorties.Most are being kept by the finders.There is very little market in them at all. We are talking almost exclusively of ordinary chondrites found on dry lake beds not rare types. It would take a giant comspiracy of all these collectors to pull this off and for what reason. I suspect this acquisation stems from a guilty conscience projected onto others. Howard Wi DNAndrews <DNAndrews_at_frontiernet.net> wrote: However, I don't apologize to Matteo. He's been inserting his jabs on Americans for a couple of years now. And that isn't even the issue. The things he complains about, he is the biggest offender. So, according to Matteo, Robert Verish, Rob Matson, Nick Gessler and all the other crew are seeding the SW deserts with NWA's for new finds? There are no other people who keep such stringent records of their finds....Lat/Long, person who finds it, time of day, size, weight, classification, leave a marker, etc....need I say more? The source of these allegations is preposterous. You owe all these people a big apology. Why is an African desert more prone for finds than an American one? Why does an Italian salt-water ocean beach produce such a fresh find? Beats me!
