Re: [meteorite-list] Who owns the meteorite?

Ownership of meteorites is pretty clear in United States law. The owner of a meteorite is the land owner. If one falls on my land it is mine. If one falls on your land it is yours. If one falls on federal land it belongs to the Smithsonian. So if one lands in a school yard it must belong to the

Re: [meteorite-list] New radar post - I suspect that y'all are going to want to see this

Looks good! Good work Marc. Funny how all the so called meteorite people don't have a comment in 10 whole hours since your post. No yay, no nay... Just silence... LOL Maybe they're all packing they're bags or maybe already be in the field out there searching... ;) Regards, Eric On 9/24/2010

Re: [meteorite-list] New radar post - I suspect that y'all are going to want to see this

Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't this from a fall that occurred 3 1/2 years ago? Not that I am taking anything away from Marc's efforts, but if the stones have been the ground that long, I'd suspect that most have been plowed under several times and become well weathered. That might

Re: [meteorite-list] New radar post - I suspect that y'all are going to want to see this

That's true, but people routinely recover meteorites that have been on the ground for longer than that. And not all of the apparent strewn field area is farmland - there is a fairly large amount of wooded area there that has not been plowed. One of the things that I find amusing about the

Re: [meteorite-list] New radar post - I suspect that y'all are going to want to see this

Hi Richard, I agree to a point... I bet if the Claxton meteorite was found on radar people would be jumping all over it and that fell 26 years ago. Point being, time on the ground doesn't matter as much as location. A good majority of the stones might be plowed under in the 3 years, but a

Re: [meteorite-list] New radar post - I suspect that y'all are going to want to see this

Hey Marc Eric, I'm not arguing against any of your points. I'm just remarking that since it isn't a fresh fall that is currently getting widespread media attention, the buzz isn't being generated, so the list is quiet. I suspect that some local hunters are in the early stages of data

Re: [meteorite-list] Who owns the meteorite?

Re: [meteorite-list] Who owns the meteorite?

Hi Guido and List, I had a question/thought about this topic as well. Since farmers operate on BLM land through a lease agreement with the state, wouldn't their lease dictate that any meteorites found on top of the earth of the leased property belong to the farmers, as the Lorton case may

Re: [meteorite-list] Who owns the meteorite?

I would agree 100% with the Count on this one! I'm sick and tired of listening to the rhetoric of the naysaying jerks and lazy brained elitists who don't recover meteorites or would make them off-limits to everyone but themselves. The problem with these idiots are that they are selfish

Re: [meteorite-list] Who owns the meteorite?

I agree and support the Count in his wish for clear laws on ownership of found meteorites. I guess that as what I was really trying to say. I was also supprised this did not come up when there was a fund started to give a meteorite to the school. When meteorites were found on school property.

Re: [meteorite-list] Who owns the meteorite?

Hi Folks, Here is a problem we face in a nation like America. On the one hand, we like to keep any government regulation to a minimum, but on the other hand, we often defer to (or call out for) government clarification (regulation) when it comes to private matters. We wouldn't be seeing a need

Hi Eric, Yet if they lived back in the days of Nininger, they might have condemned him They did! Some of them. Imagine, how USA meteoritically would look today, if then such laws would have been in force! Uuuh, TCU would be empty. Monnig was a private collector. No Chicago. Ward was dealer.

Re: [meteorite-list] Who owns the meteorite?

Maybe not half, but a fair share... Ehm Eric, Something like that exists. The hunter gives 20%/20g to the state/university/museum of each stone, he wants to be classified. Where is the problem? If that's not enough, MetSoc shall change the rules globally. If we then have peace and quiet with
