Kind of bum that the article did not mention how much it was worth

The researchers argue that the Maryborough meteorite is much rarer than gold, making it far more valuable to science.

Just imagine how many science they could get if they traded it in!

I think their take is kind of questionable. It may be more valuable to science but its monetary value is almost certainly less than gold.
