[meteorite-list] The most expensive meteorite per gram?

[almitt2 at localnet.com]

Greetings,

Just a note that DAG 262 was the first readily available Lunar 
meteorite on the market followed by DAG 400. Calcalong Creek, Australia 
was first available meteorite for sale at a cost of $1,000,000 per gram 
to my understanding. I am not sure if any sold at that price.

Rob, Martin posted a listing of lunars and Martians I believe. I was 
recalling from memory (a dangerous thing) so I could be a little off on 
those. I will say that at one time and this may have changed with more 
finding of Martian Meteorites, that about 6 impact spots on Mars was 
believed to account for all the Martian Material we have in our 
collections. Based off of Lipshultz's study at Purdue, Indiana.

Not sure if a study has been done on impact sites on the Moon and how 
many there might be, but I do know that the lunar meteorite specimens 
represent a sampling from different spots (including the far side of 
the Moon) Apollo Lunar material seems to be unique, making all samples 
very important for science. We landed on  relatively smooth surfaces 
for reasons of safety. Also out of the nearly a half ton of lunar 
material in human collections (most from Apollo Landings), 1/8 of the 
material is from lunar meteorites.

Hope I haven't strayed too far off subject. Best!
