I will close my part in this debate by stating that the original Antiquities Act was written long before there was great interest in meteorites in 1906 and has nothing to do with meteorites whatsoever. The Management Act of 1976 doesn't address meteorites at all. The Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 has nothing to do with meteorites either. If the "protection" of meteorites is that important, common sense would state that they would have been mentioned by name instead of a vague entity "scientific" Plants have more scientific value to most.
Meteorites have no scientific value whatsoever unless they are collected from the field and provided to science.
