[meteorite-list] Morocco Meteorite Meeting

[Michel FRANCO]

Hi all,

Algeria has forbidden meteorite exportation some years ago. ( meteorite as
well as any rock sample, even sand, all artefacts, etc...)
Permit to export these items through the broders is not easy to have! For
scientific purposes it works, for commercial purpose no.
Lecture were given to custom officers, police and gendarmerie ( kind of MP)
by Algiers university professors in 2004.

my 2 cents

from what i understand this is because of illegal boarder crossings, not
because the authorities care about some stones...

if stones were comming into morroco from other nations and their export is
made illegal they will just travel to another state where the export laws
are more lax.
