Welcome to the University of Alberta's Meteorite Reporting System, where you can use a list of questions to help figure out if the rock you have found is a meteorite, and where you can upload photos to be reviewed by an expert.
Read through the list of questions below. If the answers to questions 1 and 2 are No, then the rock is almost certainly NOT a meteorite. If the rock is actually a meteorite, then the answers to most of questions 1 through 5 should be Yes, and question 6 should be No. However, it may still be a meteorwrong.
Please fill out the report form below, and be sure to include photos. Note that the maximum file size for each photo is 5MB, if your photos are larger than this, you will either need to compress them, or email them separately to eas@ualberta.ca
You will be contacted within 4 weeks of submission, ONLY if your specimen appears to be a meteorite. If you do not get a reply, then you can assume that your specimen is not a meteorite. Unfortunately, due to a lack of personnel to assist with reviewing submissions, we cannot reply to every non-meteorite inquiry. If you have any questions, or problems with completing a report, please email eas@ualberta.ca.
