A resident or residents could loan a nice WI specimen to the school for display. I saw a beauty displayed in a local shop so why not the school?

>> Hi Anne,
>>
>> I completely agree. It is actually foolish to use donated funds -- at
>> this time -- to purchase stones from the latest Wisconsin fall. Very
>> little bang for the buck. For the same money, you could buy an NWA
>> chondrite over 100 times larger that is nearly as fresh-looking.
>>
>> I think a far better use for the limited funds would be a modest
>> variety of medium-sized, relatively inexpensive meteorites. For
>> the cost of one tiny, unimpressive specimen from the lastest
>> Wisconsin fall, you could instead purchase and donate a large iron,
>> a pallasite or mesosiderite, an ordinary chondrite *AND* an
>> achondrite. --Rob

>> Michael,
>>
>> If I may make a suggestion...........

>> Lets think about Meteorites in general, rather than just one Wisconsin
>> meteorite.
>> Since you now have about $750.00, buy an assortment of reasonably
>> priced, classified, known meteorites. Maybe a Canyon Diablo, a small
>> Brenham, a couple stonies with different classification. No crumbs,
>> large enough pieces so they can see what a metorite looks like, and how
>> many different types there are. That would lead to a much better
>> understanding of meteorites, than just one small stone.
>>
>> If you decided to do that, I am quite sure you would find more offers
>> and more help. In fact, I would be willing to help you with donations.
>>
>> And if you really insist on getting them a piece of the Wisconsin stone,
>> then I suggest you wait 6 months to a year, when more stones have been
>> found, and the price has gone down. As it always does with new falls,
>> particularly when it is an ordinary chondrite; look at Buzzard Coulee:
>> $40/g during the Tucson Show, $10/g now.
>>
>> What do you think?
