Hi, Darryl, List,

It will be interesting to see if a frenzy occurs!

If anyone wants a look at the American auction site:

http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=USA&screen=index
http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=USA&screen=index


and the meteorite catalogue itself:

http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=EUR&screen=catalogue&iSaleNo=15648
http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=EUR&screen=catalogue&iSaleNo=15648

Decent close-ups can be viewed by using the "flash version" of the photos.

Cheers,
Pete

> The waves of media associated with the first natural history auctions
> in the mid 90s catalyzed an interest in meteorites---in particular---
> and yesterday there was a most significant wave: for the first time
> ever was a full page advertisement in "The New York Times" to promote
> the first major auction devoted to meteorites. As "The New York
