Meteorite Check

Think you found a meteorite? Run the same first checks a specialist would, in plain language, and find out if it is worth a closer look.

Is it a meteorite, or a meteor-wrong? Most unusual rocks people find are terrestrial. Meteorite Check helps you find out which you have, using a structured screening process built by people who handle real specimens every day. BEYOND GENERAL ROCK IDENTIFICATION This is not a generic rock identifier. It is a focused screening tool for one question: could this be a meteorite? It walks you through the same checks a specialist would run first, in plain language, and tells you honestly where you stand. HOW IT WORKS Answer a short set of physical checks: streak color, magnetism, density, surface features, interior metal, and more. The app rules out the common look-alikes first, then weighs what is left. Each check includes reference photos of real specimens and real meteor-wrongs, so you know exactly what you are looking at. HONEST BY DESIGN Your result is only as good as your answers, and the screening reflects exactly what you report, nothing more. No photo or kitchen-table test can classify a meteorite. Only a hands-on examination, and where needed laboratory analysis, can confirm one. A strong result here means your rock is worth a proper look. We tell you that plainly, and we tell you when a result is weak. OPTIONAL PHOTO ANALYSIS For a closer read, optional photo analysis examines the surface and any cut face of your specimen for the subtle signatures that point toward a meteorite and the disqualifiers that rule one out, then sharpens your result based on what it finds. A STRONG CANDIDATE? HERE IS THE NEXT STEP When a specimen screens as a strong candidate, the app can send a clean summary to a partner laboratory for examination. A referral is an introduction, not a guarantee. The laboratory decides which specimens it takes on.
