Description: | High Possil, Glasgow, [Strathclyde], [Scotland] morning of April 5, 1804 This was the first recorded meteorite fall in Scotland, and one of the first scientifically-verified falls anywhere in the world. Given to the Hunterian in 1810 by Miss Crawford, of Possil, along with a fragment of the 1795 Yorkshire meteorite, which she had been given by Sowerby, who looked at both meteorites. To this day (2004), only three other meteorites have ever been recovered in Scotland. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | STARFALL : METEORITE : ROCK : PHOSPHATE : SILICTPYROXENE : : WAW_HPM : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
