From the
Hunterian web site. If anyone gets there, I'd be interested in knowing what the new acquisitions are.
New Meteorites in The Hunterian
15 January - 26 June 2016
Hunterian Museum
Admission free
Meteorite sample.The Hunterian has an extensive collection of meteorites dating back to the beginning of the 19th century at the birth of meteorite science and the recognition of 'stones from space'.
Meteorite research is a major strength at the University of Glasgow, and Hunterian specimens are regularly sampled for research, teaching and public engagement activities.
In 2014 we applied for a grant from the National Fund for Acquisitions to increase the research value of our meteorite collections. Thanks to this support, The Hunterian was able to purchase a number of rare and unusual meteorite specimens, helping to further meteorite science and public engagement.
This display shows three notable meteorite specimens we acquired last year.
