A direct one to the NY Times article http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/05/science/05meteorite.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hp An interesting quote: ?It?s a black market,? said Ralph P. Harvey, a geologist at Case Western Reserve University who directs the federal search for meteorites in Antarctica. ?It?s as organized as any drug trade and just as illegal.? Either Dr. Harvey is mis-informed, mis-quoted or is in the camp of misinformed scientists that believe meteorite ownership should be illegal to all. Good to see Anne B quoted in the article -- Richard Kowalski Full Moon Photography IMCA #1081 ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-listReceived on Mon 04 Apr 2011 04:23:11 PM PDT |
