No Dealers collecting the rocks = few rocks to study = tiny meteorite
research budget = no meteorite scientist jobs.
Simplifying :
(Rocks to study /10) is better than (rocks to study=0)
So before those of you call it 'NWA raping', bear in mind that the whole
field of meteoritics depends on

This repsents the ultimate rape of science.

In short, nothing, apart from, I think it is a meteorite and I think it came
from somewhere in Nth West Africa.
