I've been informed privately that it was apparently the Smithsonian that contacted the owner of the land and offering payment.
I didn't mean to slight any hunter or dealer by my suggestion that one contacted the land owner... I'm a firm believer that sufficient samples need to be submitted for classification and research but I have a huge problem with some researchers that feel they need to horde every milligram for no reason other than to keep it out of the collector market. -- Richard Kowalski http://fullmoonphotography.net IMCA #1081 ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
