their claim was for specific minerals, of which a meteorite isn't

There were four claims registered and they were named after four planets,

And in the eyes of the law, a mining claim is a property right, which can
be bought, sold, used as collateral, etc. So on one hand, they are the
property owners. But a good counter argument is that their claim was for

claim where the Old Woman was found had their meteorite taken from them. I

As I had said on this list a few weeks ago, the original Gold Basin team of
three gave a percentage of our first finds to the Smithsonian as that is
what the University of Arizona asked us to do and we did it willingly and
cheerfully.

I just threw the number 50% out there because it seemed like a fair
compromise. Trust me, collectors won't get such a deal from the federal
government on vertebrate fossils or cultural artifacts! But in this
case, everybody wins if the owner (the federal govt, representing the
people) splits

I agree
Jeff,
Again with all due respect.
You said;
the owners get nothing and anybody who collects meteorites could be a
criminal.
I agree with Sonny, How about 20% but of the first find only? Then they can buy
any amount they want after that.
Remember they would not even let OUR Meteorite men
Hi Jeff,
I think I speak for many when I say you are a voice of logic and
reason amidst the chaos and bickering on this issue (including my
own).
Hopefully the Meteoritical Society and IMCA will both be very vocal in

So you're going to hold the Smithsonian responsible for something that
happened 72 years ago?? Granted, what the reps of the Smithsonian did
way back then is not cool, but I don't think that punishing the
current institution is exactly fair either...
I mean, if we were to search and find

It's never too late to do the right thing is it? The smith still exists. Why

Wow! That is some very bizarre logic Carly... Heaven-forbid you ever do

What matters is how the Smithsonian and other museums behave now. And
most museums are doing the right

It is all a matter of enforcement - and they aren't enforcing it in every
case (probably none of them, but the potential is there). As it is now,
they can't keep the border sealed, so I doubt most feds

Goran,
I asked this same question a while back and the
general answer I received was about one fall per
three square miles per thousand years. (This still
begs the question of the average number of fragments
per fall---).
I would also appreciate any corrections list members
may have to offer.
