Hi List,
I posted the folowing question:
-----------------------------
In 1950 there was a car being driven on a PUBLIC street in St. Louis Missouri.
A meteorite fell through the roof of the car and remained in the car. Who
has legal ownership of the rock? The owner of the street (the city, county or
state), the owner of the car, the driver of the car, or the Smithsonian due to
confiscation rights under the Antiquities Act?
------------------------------
And the answer is: St. Louis County (Missouri) holds legal ownership to the
St. Louis meteorite.
Thanks for all the good guesses.
Steve
