Hi all! I am new to this list and new to the field of meteorites! I am the Director of the Monnig Meteorite Gallery at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. I have a couple of questions that I hope someone out there can help me with.

First, in our museum we have a piece of a Mars meteorite that we allow visitors to touch. It is the Dar Al Gani 476, a stone achondrite (shergottite) found in Libya in 1998. Does anyone know of anywhere else in the U.S. or elsewhere where the general public can touch a piece of MARS????

Second, our museum is an educational exhibit. We also do educational outreach by taking students on tours of the gallery and engaging them in space related educational activities. Does anyone know of any other museum that operates in the same or a similar manner to our museum. I am anxious to contact other people who are responsible for maintaining a meteorite gallery and educating the public about meteoritics.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me.

Teresa Moss
