[meteorite-list] Speaking of Moon Rocks..

[Michael Gilmer]

Hi Ben, Doug, and List,

A great new lunar.  So, how exactly does that work in Australia?  Can
the finder keep it?  Is the finder reimbursed if the stone is property
of the government?  I know about the export part of the process, but
can an Australian hunter keep his find (or part of it) or must he/she
hand it over to the state?  I'm unclear on how that works.  What if
the meteorite is found on private property versus public/government
land?

PS - there is also a new Martian in the latest Met Bulletin update.

Best regards,

MikeG
