This is a big meteorite!

Hello All,

The typical problem that most run into is with cosmically (or possibly
terrestrially) reheated/recrystallized irons that oftentimes share an
uncanny resemblance in structure to terrestrially manufactured metal.

If it had a 45-degree angle of descent at Champaign

This is correct. You better not carry a nice sea shell, let alone
some good replica of something looking antique (...let alone a
meteorite!!!) in your baggage when leaving Turkey. They are
tough-minded on this, and your are risking draconic fines.
I met with a collector friend in Turkey last year
One reason would be that Turkey might in fact be the
most dangerous country in the world to remove a
meteorite from. Turkey has extreme laws about removal
of ANYTHING! People I know say that at the airports
there are warnings about removing even a pebble or sea
shell. Jail sentances are handed down
