At an auction

At an auction in New York dinosaur dung was bought quickly while a 4.5 billion year old meteorite was not sold. Now I ask you; would you rather buy dung or a meteorite?
I would buy the meteorite. It is an ancient rock that fell from space. Who knows where it has traveled? It has been on our earth for about 4.5 billion years. Who stopped and sat on it or stepped on it over the years?
But the people at this auction bought the very common fossilized dinosaur dung.
