Does anyone know What is the reasoning behind the ban?


-------------------------------------------------------------------

 A specific pre-treaty date is unclear. Some of the material that was
released into the market and that are considered 'pre-treaty':

Adelie Land
ALHA 76001
ALHA 76003
ALHA 76005
ALHA 76006
ALHA 76008
ALHA 76009
Mount Baldr
Thiel Mtns
Lazarev
Derrick Peak 78008
Neptune Mountains

Most are next to impossible to get with the exception of ALHA 76009, which
is readily available. Thiel Mountains is out there, but expect to pay
$300-400/g for it. Lazarev was a Rob Elliot exclusive and will probably
never be available again unless a collector sells their own.

A tidbit of info is here:

When was the treaty banning the release of meteorites from Antarctica to
collectors placed into effect?
How many meteorites excaped before the ban?
What are their names?
Thanks in advance,
Pete
