Hi Doug and list.
Before anyone start packing to fly down to Argentina, be aware that
there is a new law (from December 2007) and ALL THE NEW METEORITES ARE
NOW ARGENTINE HERITAGE. So they can not be exported without goverment
papers.
I was not able to see any stones yet (I'm having a hard week). If I have
any confirmation I will let you know.
Eduardo
