[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 343023, member: 4386"] I thought it was illegal throughout Australia. It is a bit like indigenous artifacts, moving it destroys information about location used in science, including location of dated meteorite showers - without that context it has limited value. Also it removes a potential place to search for better pieces. There are not all that many things have restrictions of that type. Unfortunately science cannot use "I found it at..." For example. a pice found near Woolfe Creek indicates the type of meteorite that formed the hole (there are many types) - we would not know that if it had been removed, we would not know the age... Anyone interested in meteorites should read the book "Incoming" Here is one we used to visit in the bush in Africa when I was but a lad....
