List Members,
I suspect that NWA869 has an interesting history. It's not
a story like
http://www.meteor.co.nz/aug96_1.html
or similar classics. Instead maybe NWA869 is a good archetype
for a modern (?) meteorite story.
Nomads (who?) find some about here. They take it to somebody
else, who talks to Dean (?) at midnight in the desert (or in
his car at a drive-thru via cell phone). Dean negotiates.
Meanwhile, other nomads find more material possibly paired
with NWA869 ... Dean brings back some, which he sells to
resellers and collectors. A notorious reseller engages in
odd busines practices. Some controversy brews somewhere.
NWA869 is classified. Prices fluctuate. Etc.
Please note that I have no idea. I'm just making that summary
narrative up. I can see a blockbuster movie starring Harrison
Ford as Dean (and maybe a montage of others).
Dean and others, could you help flesh out this story? I'd
be happy to summarize (if needed). List Members, if you're
not interested, let me know. I'll repost and ask for info
off-list.
Thanks in advance.
