Hi Pete,
Try this one:
Geological Survey of Canada
601 Booth Street
Ottawa, Ontario KIA 0E8
Attention: Meteorite Identification
I got this address from a poster sent to me from Maria Haas. It was signed
by many of the Tucson attendees this year and it is a beautiful meteorite
poster. I was evidently produced in Canada and has English text on one side
and French on the reverse.
The text further reads "The specimen will be examined and reported on free
of charge. Payment will be made after positive identification..."
I don't know how accurate any of the information is but it may be worth a
shot.
Hope this helps!
-Walter Branch

Thanks for all the feedback!
For the benefit of the List; I received more than a few responses to my
questions, and the clear consensus is that the way to go is through Dean's
lab contact.
To reiterate Dean's post, contrary to how he has it stipulated here:
http://www.meteoriteshop.com/class/classify.html
http://www.meteoriteshop.com/class/classify.html
it is 20 grams *OR* 20% of stones smaller than 100 grams that is required
for samples sent.
The fee required was unanimously said to be more than fair.
The "free" labs in USA (no info for Europe) are badly back-logged, so for
more the common stones a return could take them up to several years -
fo'getaboutit!
With so many OC NWA's sent in over the past few years, unless you have
something so unique, like a Lunar, most colleges/universities won't take
it in.
Embarrassingly, there doesn't seem to be a lab or university in all of
Canada that does classification.
(There doesn't seem to be anything current on the web that connects Canada
to meteorites, at all! Makes me wonder - who's holding on to all that
Tagish?!)
Thank you again for all the responses.
Knowledge is power!
Cheers,
Pete

Hi, all,
Does anyone have information for a lab that does Stony meteorite
classification in Canada?
Failing that, what are the preferred labs in the USA?
Free or fees is okay.
Our Dean's lab contact in New Zealand will be my third option, but it
reads like a minimum 20 gm sample has to be sent, and that would be a
major portion of some of the stones I'm interested in classifying.
Cheers,
Pete
