Description
METEORITES ARE THE MOST REMARKABLE THINGS ON OUR PLANET, and they are the only things you can own that are not originally from this planet. Meteorites are rocks that have fallen to Earth from outer space, and survived a fiery passage through our atmosphere. They are the remnants of long-dead planets and asteroids, and most are thought to have originated in the Asteroid Belt, between Mars and Jupiter. Others may have traveled even further, their origins lying in distant, unknown points outside our own solar system. Some meteorites may be all that has survived from the nucleus of an ancient comet. Others, which appear to contain pre-solar grains, may pre-date our own planet . . . and even the solar system itself! As such, they are the oldest things any human has ever touched, and they carry within them messages and materials from deep space.
I am a science writer, meteorite hunter, and photographer, and have had the good fortune to participate in exciting expeditions across much of the world, in search of meteorites and other natural history treasures. My great interest in meteorites, paleontology and natural history has taken me from the southern end of South America, to the desolate northern tip of Siberia, and to over thirty other countries. My adventures have been recorded in numerous published articles, and my work has appeared in Meteorite magazine, Rock & Gem, Geotimes, Lapidary Journal, Seed, Meteoryt (Poland), Reader's Digest, Tucson Showguide, TIMA (Japan), The Village Voice, New York Press, and many other national and international publications. Please see my Bibliography of Published Works for further information. I am currently at work on a science autobiography about my adventures as a meteorite hunter. That book is expected to see print in 2007.
"Aerolite" is an archaic, rarely-used English word for meteorite. I was born in New York City, but grew up in England, and called Europe home for more than twenty years. I have lived in London, Boston, New York, and the American Southwest. Aerolite Meteorites' mission is to make top quality, affordable meteorites available to collectors and institutions. Meteorite sales from this website go directly towards funding future expeditions and those expeditions, in turn, make new published works and research possible.
