Hi there,

cool!

Btw. Finland was at that time part of Russia and the price, which would
match 35$/g today,
was not unusual, but well within in the common price channel for Russian
meteorites at those times.
(Of course Russian meteorites are nowadays often cheaper).

Uuuuh! Those Footes, Krantzs, Wards - they were in meteorites only for the
money.

Bah! Chopping meteorites into small pieces to maximize their profits.

Sniff! And science can't compete anymore with private collecting, cause such
spivs, looting the cultural heritage, made meteorites unaffordable.

Horrido! Those meteorites are lost for science.
We must have some laws, to put a stop to their greedy game!!

Ooopsie... there is a kilo of St Michel in London!
And Paris has some! And Vienna! And Berlin! And Moscow! And New York!
Harvard, Helsinki, Chicago!
Mainz, Albuquerque, Rome, Los Angeles!


Many thanks, Frank, for the example ;-)
Martin





PS:
Dave - Wanna shed some tears?
The Catalogue of the Paris Nat.Hist. collection is online and searchable by
year.
Once one of the most famous and most important meteorite collections of the
World.
Biot and Daubree scream: dig us deeper...
Now we just had the "Fat Decade" in History of Meteorites.
France with his history has the strongest affinity to Sahara countries.
And Paris? Enlarged the collection per year with meteorites - gosh, each
teenage pupil spends more of his pocket money, when he just started
collecting...than Paris did. Even not sure, whether the few pieces were alms
from classification... Why keeping an expensive meteorite curator there?
Definitely overqualified for such a collecting activity, that can do also
the doorman. Adieu, La Grande Nation.
Leading at ESA. Arianespace, EADS, Airbus... Reach out for the stars...
not a joke, a shame.

And don't tell I'm a provocateur, but see where the real scandal is.
