| How we are working Each of our finds is classified by a laboratory in relation with the Meteoritical Society. The traceability of all our meteorites is total. All of our finds are referenced independently of any commercial value. Most of the discoveries in the Sahara desert are done on state lands and representative specimen of rare finds are available for original countries. When we found the main impact of the CO3 carbonaceous chondrite, named Dar al Gani 749, we preserved the 25kg main mass for the Libyan museum. An identity card with the following information is available for each new meteorite :
All these reference cards are stored on a CD-Rom. |
