Not since the namesake fall of the Chassignite Martian Meteorite variety fell in Chassigny, France, back in 1815 has another occurred until Diderot now classified as NWA 2737 in 2000 hit Morocco.
DALLAS, TX
.- A pair of important Martian meteorites, each of which could bring $300,000 or more and a selection of significant fossils are just a handful of the extraordinary specimens that will cross the block in Heritage Auctions Nature & Science Platinum Night Auction March 19.
