With high demand from collectors, extraterrestrial trinkets are making an impact on the black market - but at what cost to research in the field? William Broad investigates.

EBay and other websites pulse with sales pitches. ''The pieces below have an exceptional patina,'' says website star-bits.com of 10 pictured fragments.

The ads are for chunks of meteorites, bits of asteroids that have fallen from the sky and are as prized by scientists as they are by collectors. As more meteorites have been discovered in recent years, interest in them has flourished and an illegal market has boomed - much to the dismay of the people who want to study them and the countries that consider them national treasures.
