It's interesting yes... The simple question "...have they been handed in
for study/classification..." is scary...

It's counter productive to science to require people to "turn over"
meteorites to the state. Why should they? Because the state "needs"
them? Because meteorite hunters don't "need" them? Because meteorite
hunters don't "know" how to handle meteorites? Because meteorite hunters
and private researchers are "messing up" science? Bullshit! And these
people who make these stupid selfish science stifling laws know it!
Scientists know that an entire specimen need not be turned over to the
state, or a museum, or an institution for study, or preservation. It's
simply a farce and everyone knows it.

The public has every right to hunt for and recover meteorites in the
field. Period!
