This meteorite exercise contains two known meteorites and nine unknown samples which are a mixture of real meteorites and terrestrial material that could be mistaken for meteorites.  In this exercise, there are a number of tests that you can perform to help you identify the unknown samples.  These tests are also available for the two known meteorites.  You should carefully study these two samples before trying to identify the unknowns.
