Shirokovsky Propaganda Brochure (5.5" X 8.5") A color copy of the brochure telling the
story about the "discovery" of the Shirokovsky fake pallasite which was sold at the Tucson
Show several years ago, selling quite well before it was realized that it was a spectacular
meteor wrong, which brings more money per gram than many true meteorites - sought by
all who have a "meteor wrong" collection where it always stands out as a spectacular example.
This is the "Piltdown Man"of the meteoritic world and this is the brochure that "documented"
it as a true pallasite. A must have for any meteor wrong collector or collector of meteoritic history.
Minimum Bid: $10
