Chinese Polar Meteorite Collection

Postby David Entwistle » Thu Dec 29, 2011 10:32 am

Hi,

You can search the Chinese collection of polar meteorites held in the BIRDS (Resource Sharing Platform of Polar Samples) repository. As the web site explains:

BIRDS is the initials of the name of five polar sample depositories. They are: Biology Depository, Ice-snow Depository, Rock Depository, Deep-space Depository (including the Antarctic meteorites) and Sediment Depository.


They have very kindly provided an English language interface, which works well. You can read the background to the repository here and search the meteorite database from here.
