Happy Thanks Giving to all of our American Friends! > > As for the individual on you tube who 'Claims' to be finding meteorites in Western Australia, my father Graham and I saw him on you tube about 2 weeks ago. We watched his first video and it was a painful few minutes of listening to him ramble on in his car, of what hunting we did see....it was a few seconds of collecting earth rocks on a wet salt lake bed in Western Australia. > > > In South Australia and Western Australia, if someone finds a meteorite they must present them to the Museum of the State where they were found. The laws are more relaxed in other states and Territories e.g. NT where certain zones are off limits like Henbury. > > My advice to everyone, and please pass this on to on-list members...is if you are in Australia or international and someone offers you a meteorite found in Western Australia and or South Australia and its not a Cook 007 or Mundrubilla (any of the many well known common market meteorites), then please report them to the Museum of Western Australia or South Australia > > There is no point of having a unclassified stone in our collections (unless is a big pretty OC UNWA lol), lost forever from the knowledge of science. > > Im talking about new discoveries not well known and documented meteorites... > > Take care > > Ian Macleod > > IMCA 8013 Received on Thu 28 Nov 2013 04:31:59 PM PST |
