An undated handout photo from Bonham's Auction house shows the main mass of the famed Fukang meteorite released April 30, 2008. Widely acknowledged as the world's pre-eminent pallasitic meteorite found in the Gobi desert and thought to be as old as the solar system, the Fukang meteorite is expected to fetch as much as $2.7million at an auction by Bonham's in New York on April 30.
