Throughout earth's history, it
has been bombarded by objects from space. These bits of rock and debris are
called meteors. They can be seen on many clear nights through out the world,
and are commonly known as shooting stars. On any given day it is estimated
that 19,000 pieces of debris enter the earth's atmosphere. Of these only 10
per year are recovered. Many just burn up, never to reach the surface of the
earth. Of those that reach the surface, some land in the oceans, some land
in very difficult terrain such as jungles, mountains etc. But a very few are
found by those interested in finding and owning a piece of something
"out of this world".
You will discover:
- The best places for you to find a meteorite
- How you can identify a meteorite
- How valuable is your meteorite
- Where you can buy or sell a meteorite
As a geologist, I consider meteorites to be very
special types of rock. They truly are rocks from "out of this world."

near earth objects. This easy to use CD includes:

Internet

dealers, and the best locations to find meteorites

Find out about mineralogy and

expert. It is a bargain
