Dear List,
That article is so full of "crater" holes. If it were not for the private
sector going and collecting and/or buying these stones, there would not be
the physical wealth of material that HAS been provided to scientists all
around the world. I think collectors and/or scientists who claim such
travesties are pretty close-minded. For every classified meteorite (and some
not "officially" classified but samples provided) science get a portion to
study, and in many cases MORE than the required 20 grams or 20%.
Bad press like this will only hurt scientists in general to be able to
obtain samples from these meteorites in the future.
Best regards,
Greg
