Every year the LSU Department of Geology & Geophysics is contacted by hundreds of people who think they have found, inherited, or purchased a meteorite. We are NOT able to issue any type of certificate of authenticity or proof that what you have found (inherited or purchased) is in fact a meteorite. 

Please see the resources listed below for additional information, for testing services, and for the registration database.
