It was a dark day for meteorite recovery in Park Forest today. I hope this doesn't develope into a polarizing issue that drives a wedge between the collector and research communities. Especially when it's all about a strewn field that can supply more than enough meteoritic material, for everyone.
Let's not let the actions of just one or two "professional collectors" ruin the close working relationship between researchers and the amateur collectors/dealers, an alliance that both have worked long and hard to develope and bring closer together. It is my opinion that neither the research community, nor the owners that found meteorites on their property had their best interests served today. Again, I blame the media - for giving voice to a self-serving, vocal minority that attempted to SPEAK FOR the research community, but succeeded in misinforming the general public. They both deserved better. We all did.
