Under the lease agreement, the landowner and meteorite hunters split the proceeds of any finds, Mani said.

Reading the article helps answer questions...

Just follow the yellow brick road and make a right at the meteorite.

Sounds like somebody spent a lot of money to find a piece of space rock. Now they can all sit around and make guesses as to where it came from and how long it was in space and whether or not it proves the big bang theory.

If it turns out to be BLUE K, someone better warn AlGore to stay away from it

Did the landowner get the rights to the meteorite, or did the government claim it?

I'm curious to see under what body of law the government "claim" a rock in your cornfield. Do you mean with or without compensation?

That's what I was wondering. It seems to me that the rock belongs to the landowner. Apparently, he split it with the people who dug it up, but they provided the equipment, so it was probably a consensual deal.
