Met List,
I appreciate honest debate. I appreciate respect. The personal attacks need to
stop. I will never respond in kind.
Do you all not know the Met List policies?

Hi Ian and List,
Yes, we can all play keyboard king and tell the governments and the
world how we think things should be done. There will never be an ideal
world and compromises must be made to keep everyone relatively happy
(or at least content or apathetic). I agree that nobody's system is

Why when making the discovery of meteorites in the field, why then give
away the scientific analysis and identification process to another? Why not
learn how to do it for yourself so that your knowledge of the science of
meteoritics increases? Why give away that joy of this discovery process

To understand this story, you have to know the Huron (Wendat, Wyandot) word for

Hi List, we can bang on about laws all day (which actually vary here in
Australia between states) and also point fingers at scientists and museum staff
we don't know. At the end of the day the law is the law...Deal with it

It would be interesting if they made a Colt Peacemaker .45 pistol from a

There is *nothing* wrong with crafting the handle of a sidearm using a
meteorite. There is *nothing* wrong with pistols or rifles. Period. It's no
different than using meteorites to make the face of a watch. No difference.

I think there should be no regulations whatsoever on meteorite recoveries
from public land. The old system of 20% or 20 grams has worked fine for
decades and it is not a law. Australia used to be the number one producer
of meteorites during the 80's. Now look where they are.

Hi List,
I have to agree with Anne on this one. It's sad to see a beautiful
regmaglypted Gibeon sliced down, smelted, and turned into a tool. I'd
feel the same way if the tool was a wrench or a gun.
Besides, meteoritic iron is not homogeneous and may fracture under
pressure. It is a poor choice
Hello Peter,
Since you asked
I am sorry if I upset your friend or yourself, but destroying a meteorite just
so you can redo it was simply idiotic. Why break something just so you can glue
it back together? and losing in the process the Widmanstatten pattern, the very

Hi Bob and List,
Bingo! (or should I say, Bingol!) - Look, I have the utmost respect
for meteorite hunters who go out into the field under harsh conditions
(at best) and recover these space treasures. Whether they work for
ANSMET, the Crown, or the Meteorite List - it takes determination,
money,
Hey Galactic Stone, why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel? ;-)
Did this line in that article hit you too close to home:
"Professor Bland said he suspects there are amateur astronomers who are
frustrated by legislation requiring them to hand back their discoveries from
outer space."
I find
The only difference between the U.S. and Australia's restrictive meteorite
laws is that meteorites belong to the Crown in one country and the federal
and now state governments in another. It will not be long before finds on
private land here in the U.S. are affected. Public lands are being pu

More hogwash. The inbox is full of it this morning.
"Scientific value" - "sitting on the mantlepiece" - "black market"
This kind of piece belongs in the National Enquirer.
Dr. Grguric should get together and drink kool-aid with Lindfors and
the new World Record Martian Loon. They all have the
This is absolute hogwash.
I have no background in academia, no academic credentials, and before
meteorites, I cut trees for a living.
I did not know anyone, I did not know the rules, I was a total
newcomer back in 2007.

Dear Tommy and All
I will be interested to see the reaction of listees to this article. A few
years ago I posted a small "flyer" for the work of an artist who had taken a
piece of Campo, made a mould of it, melted the meteorite then cast it in the
mould she had made earlier and put it on displa
Mendy and All,
I have a queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. My nose is twitching and I

There is no conspiracy except the one you have created to bring some misguided
legitimacy to your story and your rocks.
You also do an immense disservice to our dedicated scientist and
meteoriticists. They have no malicious intent to prejudicially reject your
rocks. Their motive is furthering s
