According to O. Richard Norton, and the Meteoritical Society, all meteorites
found in India are the property of the Geological Survey of India. In his
Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites, Norton also states Gibeon meteorites
are illegal to export from Namibia.
Hi Gang,
Some thoughts from the peanut gallery :
UNESCO does not apply to meteorites.
The British mandate/order in regards to Indian meteorites is over 120
years old and India is not longer a territory of the British crown.
The late great O. Richard Norton was not a legal expert.

Hi Gang,
Some thoughts from the peanut gallery
Here is a link to some really good info concerning international laws related
to meteorites and exportation of them.
It specifically makes note of meteorites from India also.

I would call this bad info!
This old paper has come up several times and is garbage as far as I am
concerned. The late Richard Norton was alarmed about how the UNESCO (laws?)
were being twisted to include meteorites and rallied against it as soon as this
infamous paper was published. As far
UNESCO-1970 is not a law, but it is a convention to harmonize national laws
of the signing states.
Meteorites can be protected only by national laws.
(Like e.g Namibia, Canada, Australia, South-Africa did).
That is given in the convention's text.
Schmitt's information on Argentina is outdated.
