What is a Meteorite?

This video was created in association with Fireballs Aotearoa, a meteor tracking project funded by Curious Minds and the Participatory Science Platform. I am currently working on the project as a research assistant. More info is available here:

Meteorite samples were provided by Dr James Scott at the Department of Geology, University of Otago, New Zealand.

[@ThomasStevensontutor]

Hi there! If you think you have a meteorite, the best thing to do is contact your nearest university, museum or some other place where scientists work. Ask them to identify the object and confirm what it is, and they'll tell you what to do next. Hope this helps :)

Grind a window into it ,to see what's inside ..then consider it like a sculpture , consider cutting a slab , to establish a bottom ,
