Welcome at Meteorite Recon The oldest matter found on earth originates from outer space. This debris from far away worlds falls from the icy depths of space onto the ever-changing surface of our planet.Those fragments tell us about the emergence of the elements and the birth and death of celestial bodies. Today in almost every country there are scientists who work on decoding their messages.Few have investigated in those rare areas in the vast deserts of North Africa, South America, Asia and the Arabian Peninsula,in which meteorites are found in dense concentrations. The study of these meteorite fields is the mission of the team from Meteorite Recon.
In early 2002 a group of German researchers launched a first recon expedition into the eastern part of the Central Sahara. Read the illustrated report about ajourney to the edges of our knowledge..The goal of this mission into one of the most extreme regions ofour earth was the search for undiscovered strewfields and, if possible, the salvage of cosmicdebris from the dust of the Ténéré desert.Expeditions into the Hammmadah al Hamra, into the swamps and forests of Tartarstan in Russia and into the Rhub al-Khali and Umm as-Samm deserts on the Arabian Peninsula followed.
The Buhl Meteorite Collection currently consists of morethan 300 meteorites representing 121 different locations.Beside meteorites there is an extensive library of meteoritica assigned focussing onscientific and popular reports on meteorite falls and discoveries from 1750 - 1920.A collection of 34 contemporary art prints supplements the inventory. Should you beinterested as a scientist or curator in a sample exchange or information on any ofthe specimens in the inventory please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
