Hello meteorite list and astro list, I just finished writing an E-mail to my MP about the law banning the exportation of meteorites from Canada. I urge all of you who are Canadian to do so also. The problem is that because it is illegal to sell meteorites found in Canada, there is no incentive for people to search. As a result, meteorites are left to weather in the harsh Canadian climate instead of being sold and studied. I am sure that most meteorite dealers would donate a small portion of any meteorite they find to a local university or scientific institution. For more information you can go to this site that I found: http://www.canadian-meteorites.com/file5.htm
Please write to your MP. The study of meteorites is important because it can tell us about the formation of the solar system and even the origins of life on earth. ************************************************************ Graham Christensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/aerolitehunter _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
