The Science

The meteorites listed below were recovered, discovered or purchased, and submitted for analysis and classification by our co-founder and Curator of Collections, Dustin Dickens.

Over the past ten years Dustin has been integral in bringing many new meteorites to institutions and researchers around the world, including several new lunar and martian meteorites. He continues to dedicate himself to the field of meteoritics through new fall recovery, analysis and classification of new meteorites, and independent meteoritic research.
