I own the Guadalajara mass, fell through a house in Zapopan, suburb of Guadalajara in sept 07. Sadly Zunhua seems to have been ignored by Chinese, Xining seems to be in same purgatory despite hundreds of news articles and at least 100 kg found. Katol is being worked on, very unique meteorite un

Re: [meteorite-list] Roadside Hunting and Ownership

I may be wrong, but only the owner of the cemetery could claim ownership. Families of the deceased who were buried there would not (AFAIK) have any claim to a meteorite landing on a family member's grave. They do not own the plot they "purchased" to bury their deceased. "Buying" the plot es

Hi Elton, Steve, and List, The reason we don't see a similar amount of water on the Moon is due in part to insufficient gravitation. The Moon doesn't have the ability to retain water vapor and volatiles like the Earth does. Secondly, the Moon is a smaller target and probably suffered fewer water-

Thinking about this again, regardless of co-operating land management agreements, the right-of-way in question would still be owned by the State, so I believe that the BLM's policy would still not apply. Does this sound correct? Michael in so. Cal. On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 10:47 AM, Michael Mulgre
