I think that it was too bad that their Lawyers did not
look carfully enough into the 1872 Mining Act permit
that the Barringers applied for with regards to all
meteorites found in "Meteor Crater"

Under that very same 1872 Mining Act, they got not
only the meteorites, but the entire crater, too.

Meteorite might remain

d be kept on the state at least temporarity so it can be displayed in mus=

ia.
