Martin, Thanks for posting! I think I was able to decipher the article's translation. I am left with the impression that all the Norwegian scientists are asking is that the Grefsen be classified?
I did check the MetBull and this is the result: No records found for meteorites with names that contain "Grefsen"; No synonyms containing "Grefsen" were found. Seems incredibly short-sighted of the holders of the main mass not to want it classified given that all that all they will give up is 20g! Plus the value will be enhanced. Furthermore, this is also the type of bad behavior that does get attention of government officials, and so at some point they may indeed change the current "finder is owner" rule to "finder must give all to the Kingdom of Norway". Or perhaps this is a Norwegian turf war? Perhaps an outsider could convince the owners to do the right thing and get it classified. Has anyone contacted them?
