Meteorite law in Norway
No meteorite-specific law that we can confirm. Ordinary property law applies, and the Natural History Museum in Oslo advises finders.
No specific law known
We know of no Norwegian law written for meteorites. Ownership follows ordinary property law, and a finder should agree with the landowner who keeps a find. Norway has an active fireball camera network, and the Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo identifies possible meteorites. The Oslo meteorite of 2012, which crashed through the roof of a small garden cabin, stayed with the people who found it, and they shared material for study.
This is general information to help you ask the right questions, not legal advice. Laws change and their details matter, and this summary was last reviewed in 2026. Before you search, buy, sell or export a meteorite, check the current law with the authorities of the country concerned or a qualified lawyer. See meteorite law by country.
