[meteorite-list] Meteorite found in Xinjiang

[Adam Hupe]

It looks like the Fukang main mass has just been found!  25 tons of Pallasite!  
It will probably be chopped into little pieces, exported as iron ore to get 
around Chinese law and put on the market soon judging from how they have managed 
their resources in the past.  Now, they will have real meteorite specimens to 
offer instead of magnetite. It will be interesting to see how they deal with it 
and its final disposition.  In my opinion, it belongs in a museum but their 
new-found love for capitalism will probably dictate otherwise.
