List, et al.,

Check out the new Catalogue under Nova 001, Nova 002, Nova 003.

In fact Nova 003 was reported to have been found in UTAH as Robert=20
hypothetically suggested above.

Seems to me if meteorite collecting was banned world wide, then there would=20
be no dealers. The only hunters would be official government hunters, and=20
thus there would be no profit motive and thus there would be no fraud. =20
Sounds like an easy solution to me.
