[meteorite-list] Secret BLM maps

[Adam Hupe]

I will close my part in this debate by stating that the original Antiquities Act 
was written long before there was great interest in meteorites in 1906 and has 
nothing to do with meteorites whatsoever.  The Management Act of 1976 doesn't 
address meteorites at all. The Archaeological Resources  Protection Act of 1979 
has nothing to do with meteorites either.  If the "protection" of meteorites is 
that important, common sense would state that they would have been mentioned by 
name instead of a vague entity "scientific"  Plants have more scientific value 
to most. 


Meteorites have no scientific value whatsoever unless they are collected from 
the field and provided to science. 


Happy Hunting,

Adam
