minus-squareBatmanlink21•7 months agoKind of bum that the article did not mention how much it was worth
minus-square@Fester@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish38•7 months ago The researchers argue that the Maryborough meteorite is much rarer than gold, making it far more valuable to science. 💀
minus-square@Brickhead92@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink28•7 months agoJust imagine how many science they could get if they traded it in!
minus-square@LibertyLizard@slrpnk.netlinkfedilink12•7 months agoI think their take is kind of questionable. It may be more valuable to science but its monetary value is almost certainly less than gold.
minus-square@luciole@beehaw.orglinkfedilink7•7 months agoThe writing is at morning program levels of goofiness; it’s jarring. At 17 kg this meteorite would be worth over a million USD if it was gold. It’s like the writer is taking a piss at the poor guy who hoped to get some money out of it.
