Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the meteorite identification?

Our AI provides highly accurate preliminary identification based on visible characteristics. However, definitive meteorite classification requires laboratory testing including density measurements, chemical analysis, and microscopic examination. We recommend professional verification for valuable specimens.

Can it distinguish meteorites from meteorwrongs?

Yes! Our AI is trained to identify common meteorwrongs (terrestrial rocks often mistaken for meteorites) such as slag, hematite, and magnetite. It will explain why a specimen is or isn't likely to be a meteorite based on visible features.

What information is included in the results?

Results include meteorite classification (iron, stony, or stony-iron), composition details, physical characteristics, authentication indicators, probable origin, scientific significance, and recommendations for professional testing.

Should I get professional testing?

If our AI indicates your specimen has strong meteorite characteristics, we highly recommend professional testing by a certified meteorite laboratory or university geology department for definitive identification and potential classification.

What makes a good photo for identification?

Clear, well-lit photos showing the fusion crust, surface texture, any cut or broken surfaces revealing internal structure, and multiple angles. Including a scale reference and information about magnetic properties greatly improves accuracy.

Can it identify specific meteorite falls?

The AI can classify meteorite types and provide general origin information, but cannot definitively link specimens to specific meteorite falls without provenance documentation and laboratory analysis.
