[meteorite-list] Collecting on Public Lands

[Mark Miller]

Regarding the discussions regarding the collecting of meteorites on
public lands... the BLM publishes brochures encouraging visitors to
pack out debris and routinely sponsors volunteer days where folks get
together to remove debris and exotic/invasive species. I could contend
that all meteorites are debris from space, and even more specifically;
they are exotic species of minerals.

It might be our civic duty to remove them from public lands.
