Vulcan Polished part slice 66.5g, 6 x 4.4cm Vulcan (Alberta, Canada) H6 (stone) - found April 1962 Only one stone weighing 19kg was ever found of this Canadian meteorite. Canada restricts exports of its meteorites and as a direct result, Canadian falls and finds become very hard to add to private collections. Provenance: Natural History Museum, London

Travis County (a) Polished part slice 127.8g, 11.5 x 9cm Travis County (a) (Travis County, Texas, USA) H5 (stone) - found 1889 The first public mention of the Travis County meteorite occurred when a chemical analysis of it appeared in 1890. All that was known at that time was that a 2.5kg piece had been given to the U. S. National Museum by Dr. Robert T. Hill, the first state geologist of Texas. During the 1930s, recognising this piece as a fragment of something larger, Oscar Monnig set about recovering further masses of the meteorite, and was rewarded with the discovery of several larger specimens.

Mooresfort Five fragments (5) 4g total Mooresfort (County Tipperary, Ireland) H5 xenolithic (stone) - fell August 1810 "After appearance of moving cloud and sounds like thunder, a stone of 7.75lb was seen to fall" - W. Higgins & M.C. Moore (1811). Only one single stone was recovered from the Mooresfort meteorite fall, possibly because the townsfolk didn`t expect more than one stone to have fallen, or perhaps it really was just a singular event. The British Isles are a small target for falling space rocks to hit and meteorite falls here are a very rare event. Provenance: Natural History Museum, London

Leighlinbridge Polished fragment 0.9g Leighlinbridge (Leighlinbridge, County Carlow, Ireland) L6 (stone) - fell 28th November 1999 At approximately 10:10pm on Sunday 28th November 1999, a bright fireball blazed across the night sky over Carlow town, County Carlow, Ireland and exploded in a huge detonation that was seen and heard by many of the local folk. Eyewitnesses have described the fireball as being "as bright as the full moon" and "it turned night into day". Shortly afterwards, once the slower travelling sound waves reached the stunned observers, a loud detonation was heard that has been described as "Massive!", "it shook houses", "security guards feared an explosion", "people were too scared to go outside". Despite such dramatic light and sound displays, a total of only 271g was recovered after Rob Elliott offered a cash reward in the local newspapers and on radio stations.

Of the H, L and LL chondrites, the LL group are by far the rarest, but especially rare are those with low numbers such as this type 3 specimen. Type 3`s contain pristine chondrules that have altered little since their origins in the solar nebula, 4.5 billion years ago.

Glatton Polished fragment 0.9g Glatton (Cambridgeshire, England) L6 (stone) - fell 5th May 1991 At around 11:30am on 5th May 1991, Mr Arthur Pettifor was busy gardening at his Glatton village home in Cambridgeshire, England, about 70 miles North of London. Suddenly he heard a loud whining noise and saw something crash through his conifer hedge, just a few feet away from where he stood. Below the conifers, he found a black rock sitting in a shallow depression and assumed that local "hooligans had thrown the stone" into his garden. Within a few seconds of its fall he picked it up, noticing that the stone felt warm to the touch, and then quickly guessed that this black crusted rock was something much more extraordinary. The stone was soon confirmed as meteoritic by visiting meteoriticists. Despite a thorough search of the surrounding area, no more meteorites were recovered, and if Mr Pettifor hadn`t been out in his garden at the time, the Glatton meteorite would not have been recognised at all. Mr Pettifor kept the meteorite for a few months, carefully wrapped in cling film, and displayed it at his local Summer fete, charging a small fee (donated to the church fund) to view the meteorite. Later, the little space rock was sold to the Natural History Museum, where the main mass remains today. Provenance: Natural History Museum, London

Shallowater has a crystallization age of 4,530,000,000 years, and a cosmic ray exposure age of 26,800,000 years, making this meteorite one of our more elderly visitors.

Park Forest Three fusion crusted individuals (3) 15.2g, 9.6g & 7.1g Park Forest (Park Forest, Illinois, USA) L5 (stone) - fell 26th March 2003 At 11:30pm on 26th March 2003, a bright fireball was seen and heard in Chicago. Moments later, chunks of stony meteorites began falling over the town of Park Forest, Illinois, peppering the area with space rocks ranging from the size of a pea, up to larger masses of several kilograms. Several homes were also hit, including that belonging to Noe Garza of Indiana Street, Park Forest. Noe`s 14-year-old son Robert was fast asleep in his bedroom when a meteorite narrowly missed him. It blasted through the roof, smashed a 5x10cm wooden support joist in the attic, broke apart, and made three holes in the bedroom ceiling. The meteorite then wrecked a plastic window blind, smashed the glass window, caused a hefty dent in the metal window sill, bounced on the floor and completely smashed both mirror-fronted wardrobe doors. The damage was incredible, but it soon became clear that Robert Garza was very lucky to be alive, as the meteorite had missed hitting him by less than a metre!

Zegdou has been classified as an H3 chondrite and although weathered, contains many nice type 3 chondrules, shock veining and some large/very large light and dark clasts in the dark brown matrix. Unusually, the nickel iron metal flake in Zegdou is not evenly distributed throughout the matrix, but is bunched together in loose clumps.

Loud detonations were heard by the townsfolk of La Criolla and many stones rained down from the skies - one 750g rock crashed through the roof of a house, destroyed a door and continued to bounce around the room, forcing the occupants to flee in panic.

North West Africa 832 Polished end piece 748g, 11.5 x 9.5 x 4cm NWA 832 (Morocco) L4 Regolith Breccia (stone) - found 2001 This is a classic example of a regolith breccias: a host material containing broken up, angular clasts of stony material, with their sharp points smoothed by the bombardment of a myriad micrometeoroid impacts at the surface of the parent asteroid from which it came. The fresh fusion crust and fresh interior suggest that NWA 832 is a relatively recent fall.

The main mass, weighing in at around 1 ton, is now on display at the University of New Mexico. Norton County is a rare, lime-poor enstatite achondrite (Aubrite) - visually, a plain grey-white meteorite with very few nickel iron inclusions. Fusion crust on some aubrites can appear as a silvery colour, although the fusion crust on Norton County is brownish and resembles mud staining at first glance. These Norton County fragments are ex-research specimens, broken by scientists for study and analysis.

Leedey Fusion crusted polished end piece 31.9g, 7 x 3.5cm Leedey (Dewey County, Oklahoma, USA) L6 (stone) - fell 25th November 1943 Witnesses to this event reported that the ground trembled as the meteorite detonated in the atmosphere. The Highway Patrol spent all day searching the local area for meteorites without success, and despite the bright fireball and loud explosions, only around 20 meteorites have since been recovered from this witnessed fall. Leedey has been well curated over the years, remaining fresh with recrystallised white and dark chondrules set in a light coloured matrix. Leedey provides an excellent example of "contraction cracking" of the outer fusion crust, caused by the very rapid cooling of the stone during "dark flight", shortly before it hit the Earth.

One young boy was also hit on the head by a small stone, although the leaves of a banana tree slowed the falling meteorite before it struck the boy, preventing injury. The Meteoritical Bulletin states: "The fall occurred in a heavily populated area in and around the city of Mbale. A loud explosion was heard which persisted for some time as a rumbling noise. For about two minutes a greyish-white smoke trail was seen. A meteorite shower fell over an area of about 3 x 7km. The stones hit several buildings, but nobody was hurt, although a young boy was apparently hit on the head".
