[meteorite-list] Santiago del Estero - Campo?

[ensoramanda at ntlworld.com]

Hi Mike,

Santiago del Estero is one of the provinces that the Campo strewn field crosses...the other is Chaco. Supposedly meteorites from that province are..or were.. legal to sell/export...but not sure since all the changes recently

see here...

Hope that helps...
