[meteorite-list] Lorton meteorite should be 'the people's rock'

[Adam Hupe]

It is interesting that some museums quote the UNESCO laws when it is in their favor but fail to mention it when it is not.  I have not heard a thing about the laws that clearly state that in the United States, the meteorite belongs to the land owner, not the finder. You can't have it both ways.

Best Regards,

Adam

Thanks Shawn, that article is just the mindset we don't need in this country.  I wrote a reply before realizing others had done so already...  :0)

Clear skies,
