Note: Due to the increased interest in meteorites and the lack of funding, many facilities listed below may no longer be testing suspect meteorites for the general public. Please contact the facility and verify their policy and procedures BEFORE sending any samples (as your samples may not be returned to you)!

Samples sent for testing don't need to be large, a quarter sized fragment is all that is needed. But please ensure that the sample is actually representative of the rock and reveals the interior composition (eg. Do not send a rusty old flake that's fallen off the outside). Testing may take a few days to a year depending upon the backlog of the facility. (NEMS offers the fastest verification process)
