Found A Meteorite?


Have You Found A Meteorite or Tektite?

As the popularity of meteorites increases so has the volume of meteorite identification emails that we receive.  So that we can better serve our customers please follow the guidelines outlined below.

The possibility that you have found a meteorite or tektite is extremely remote. Before you can think or say you've found a meteorite you must spend some time learning about meteorites. Therefore your first step in your quest to see if you have found a meteorite is to find out what makes a meteorite a meteorite. You need to learn about fusion crust, nickel-iron, chondrules, stony meteorites, iron meteorites, stony-iron meteorites and so on.

Please proceed to the following website for more information on meteorite identification.

After studying the information and sites on the above Meteorite Identification page, if you still believe your specimen is a meteorite you should have a lab do testing to see what type of meteorite you may have found. Below is a list of Meteorite Classifying Institutions.
