Hi Actually the law refers to NEW finds and falls, so any meteorite find or found before December 2007 can be exported (with a few exceptions like Campo del Cielo as there is a provincial law that protect Chaco meteorites). About the new one, I was in contact with people from San Juan. It was seen aproaching earth with a Southeast direction near the "Sierra de Pie de Palo", but no sound was hear nearby. In case of a confirmed fall in this case, it will be a new fall and so no export will be alowed right now (although I'm still working to try to change this). best regards Eduardo
