[meteorite-list] Request for Information - European Dealers and Collectors
Hi Listees, I am researching the legalities of meteorites in certain countries. I would like some first-hand information from collectors in Europe - Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Holland, etc. Specifically, I want to know which countries control the ownership and export of meteorites. Which countries have explicit controls in place, like Canada and Australia? Please reply here or contact me off-list. All responses will be held confidential.

Re: [meteorite-list] Exceptional nice Eucrite and a new Acapulcoite
Mike, I can assure you that the Bill you are referring to would never send Bernd such a message from past emails that we have exchanged. You'll have to find another witch or better yet lets just talk about meteorites. --AL Mitterling Galactic, Stone & Ironworks Said: Quote: I strongly suspect this Bill is not named "Connoly". The negative tone, the poor grammar, and the disdain for anything he deems "spam" screams out as another Bill on this list. I think this fellow uses more than one identity on this List and this Connoly identity is nothing more than a "sock puppet" for this juvenile-adult to vent his bottomless spring of negativity. I think most of us know who I am referring to. I'm sure he will try to email me after I post this, but I have blocked this person and his emails go straight to my trash bin. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
