This is the largest source of info on micrometeorites on the web. Science website about micrometeorites and other spherules.
The page is run by Jon Larsen (University of Oslo) who do research on micrometeorites and other spherules, both extraterrestrial, terrestrial and anthropogenic. Project Stardust started in 2009, full time from 2010.
My research led to the discovery of the urban micrometeorites (2015). The challenge was to separate the extraterrestriel objects from anthropogene contamination (artefacts), and objects of terrestrial provenience. The photo albums on these pages contain the very first published hi-res photos in colour of micrometeorites.
Project Stardust is an open page, and your contribution - knowledge, experience, field work, or lab analysis - is welcome. Share your own findings with the other micrometeorite hunters.
Here you may post links to interesting pages concerning this topic, photos of your own finds, comments, etc. If you have questions, for instance about how to get started, you are welcome to contact me directly at [email protected] - preferably after having checked out my books about how to identify micrometeorites.
Sincerely yours,
PROJECT STARDUST
