Virtual Microscope adds British & Irish Meteorites

Postby David Entwistle » Sun Jan 18, 2015 10:45 am

The Virtual Microscope has added a new collection off British & Irish meteorite thin sections images. The announcement is here and the collection is available from here. There are some very nice images of the whole meteorites too.

The British Meteorites collection consists of meteorites that have fallen in Great Britain and Ireland and which are now preserved in museum collections. We have also included samples of the two known meteorite impact deposits in the UK.
