A follow-up to clarify...I echo MF's perspective.

Perhaps the job of the IMCA is not to police the world's laws, but to
ensure authenticity, which is what it was set up to do.

2. I spent several thousand of my money to try to open the museum. It
failed. What can I say? I tried... Again, you can "shove off"
3. I have returned EVERYTHING donated minus one person who I have talked
to about it. YOU did nothing yet run your mouth... again, "shove off...
4. WHAT I DID/DO DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT THAT YOU SELLING ILLEGALLY
EXPORTED MATERIAL AND KNOW AS MUCH!!! I didnt know about the mifflin, you
know the laws about this, and choose to ignore it!
your comments are pathetic. YOU are breaking international laws, and are
an IMCA member to boot... Where is the IMCA right now when you are
selling ILLEGALLY EXPORTED METEORITES? What are they going to do with you
breaking numerous IMCA rules? ANYONE from the IMCA care to comment or
will they remain quite as that usually do when one of the good ol boys
break the rules?

Hello Greg,
The gall you must have to pass on thousands of dollars of fake
material, take donations for a good cause, flake on the cause (but
keep many of the donations) and then rag on me for selling *accurately
described material*...just shove off. You've done more harm to this
community on your own than most others have been able to manage in the
past fifteen years.

I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time.

Its Commonly known meteorites from India are illegal without export
permits, but yet Suligiri and now Katol is offered by many IMCA members
for sale. Guess the meteorite police, IMCA member and seller of this
(Katol) Jason Utas needs to add himself to his blacklist for selling
illegal meteorites! Question is, where is the IMCA to take action
against jason for illegally exporting or receiving these for sale?
Greg C,

Dear Shawn
You are absolutely correct. It is illegal to collect meteorites in
India. And meteorites are government property. The authority for this is
the Geological Survey of India. And as far as I know, they never trade
or deal with any individuals or private institutions. There cannot be
any export papers as export is banned.
Although I wonder how having a export paper or certificate helps ?
If a specimen is up for sale, it is definitely out of the country and
has been exported.
By the way does anyone have a analysis report on this new find ?
M.E.

Hello Listers,
From my understanding, meteorites that fell or are found after 1885 in
India would be forwarded to the Government Geological Museum which
would take over possession of the meteorite? If so, how is Katol
exempt from this, or was Katol sold by the Museum? For those who have
gotten some of this meteorite fall, will their meteorites come with
export papers like how Canadian falls are handled?
