[meteorite-list] So all meteorites are illegal?

[Michael Bross]

and again the subject line changing...
and now we might have 3 threads for the same discussion.

I really don't get this forum anarchy with subject lines...

Cheers

Thanks Dirk for posting your links.

A direct one to the NY Times article
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/05/science/05meteorite.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hp

An interesting quote:
“It’s a black market,” said Ralph P. Harvey, a geologist at Case Western 
Reserve University who directs the federal search for meteorites in 
Antarctica. “It’s as organized as any drug trade and just as illegal.”

Either Dr. Harvey is mis-informed, mis-quoted or is in the camp of 
misinformed scientists that believe meteorite ownership should be illegal to 
all.


Good to see Anne B quoted in the article
