[meteorite-list] Oman

[Rob Wesel]

Is it obvious to you Bill?

I would hazard a guess that Oman meteorites are the second most plentiful on 
the market, available from my site and many others yet with many folks I 
have spoken to about going, legality issues come up. As I see it this is 
either sour grapes (as those who have warned me have never gone into Oman) 
or a legitimate concern.

I am sifting out the details myself, starting with this list, my fellow 
collectors and colleagues, teams from around the world who have been hunting 
the deserts for decades and are familiar with the exportation process. I 
thank you for considering me well known in the community but I admit I have 
never been on a hunt but for Park Forest where I did not personally find a 
single piece.

I could write to the Sultan but this seems a logical forum to seek advice.
