But one problem, the Russian fall is likely going to be relatively cheap, I am sure hundreds of kilos will be found and the price will likely be low. For $500 people will be able to buy one or many stones. $500 in black beauty gets you a speck hardly identifiable as a meteorite.
Both are very interesting meteorites, scientifically the Mars is more interesting but dynamically the Russian fall is history-book material.
No comparison in my opinion:)
I'll be in Russia very soon, so get your pennies counted:)
