Please note: If you have found a rock you think may be a meteorite please email us in the first instance with the following information:
- Does a strong magnet stick to the rock (or attract to it)?
- If possible, swipe the rock across the back (rough side) of a white kitchen tile, tell us the colour of the streak it leaves (if it leaves one).
- Include all relevant information on find location, and the circumstances of the find.
- Please include in focus photo(s), taken in good light, in close up (especially any freshly broken surface) and also an over view shot,
- If you are reporting a fireball/meteor sighting - please include as a minimum the exact time of the sighting, the Direction and your location.
Please note, we are happy to offer our opinion on rocks based on the data provided to us, however we accept no responsibility for any errors as we can only go by what we are told.
Consider doing some research first, Meteorites are very very rare - there are many local rocks that can look like meteorites, including weathered Pyrite Nodules, Iron Ores, Basalt and Sandstones.
We will get back to you when we can - Thank You.
