[meteorite-list] April 6, 2008 witnessed fall

[Eduardo.]

Hi Doug and list.
Before anyone start packing to fly down to Argentina, be aware that 
there is a new law (from December 2007) and ALL THE NEW METEORITES ARE 
NOW ARGENTINE HERITAGE. So they can not be exported without goverment 
papers.
I was not able to see any stones yet (I'm having a hard week). If I have 
any confirmation I will let you know.
Eduardo
