Since meteorites that fall on federal land has been designated as being the
property of the Smithsonian Institute by congress I see no reason why the
Smithsonian could not issue permits for the collection of rocks fossils
minerals and meteorites on public lands including BLM land. This would bypass
and supercede the BLM. And the Smithsonian would get in return 20 grams or 10%
of material found. With a scientific collection permit from the Smithsonian.
Any BLM officer could be arrested by the FBI for interference of a government
operation. Have fun! Steve Dunklee
