UCLA NO LONGER ACCEPTS SUSPECTED METEORITES FOR IDENTIFICATION.
UCLA no longer accepts specimens of suspected meteorites for identification. Specimens sent in the mail will not be opened and will not be returned. Specimens brought in person will not be accepted and will not be examined. No member of the staff is devoted to specimen identification. Meteorites from the general public will not be verified or appraised.
UCLA is not responsible for any unsolicited specimens and is not responsible for returning them to the senders.
What to do if you think you have a meteorite?
You may try contacting the Geological Survey of your state, a local college or university or college or a local natural history museum. In addition, there are a few commercial firms that will charge a fee for examining and identifying suspected meteorites.
