Image database of meteorites of lunar origin collected by the Antarctic Search for Meteorites Program.

This comprehensive data set from The Meteoritical Society contains information on all of the known meteorite landings. The Fusion Table is collected by Javier de la Torre and we've also provided an XLS file that consists of 34,513 meteorites and includes the following fields: place type_of_meteorite mass_g fell_found year database coordinate_1 coordinates_2 cartodb_id created_at updated_at year_date longitude latitude geojson **5/14/13 Please find an updated data set from The Meteoritical Society that includes more recent meteorites. Under NameType, 'valid' is for most meteorites and 'relict' are for objects that were once meteorites but are now highly altered by weathering on Earth. http://visualizing.org/datasets/meteorite-landings

Image database of meteorites believed to have originated from Vesta.

The Mars Maps Catalog includes various mappings of the surface of Mars.

The meteorite collection contains representative material from over 150 Australian and overseas meteorites, with the focus mainly on those that have been found in South Australia. The collection includes pieces from significant international meteorites, such as the Indian Shergotty and Egyptian Nakhla falls, since determined to have originated from Mars. The data includes the locality and date of finds, weight and other descriptive information, and information about their acquisition. The South Australian Museum manages this dataset using the KE EMu collection management system. The full dataset is published on data.sa.gov.au as a .csv file.

The Mars Cave Database

This data set contains meteoroid orbits from photographic, TV system, and radar meteoroid surveys collected from the International Astronomical Union Meteor Data Center (IAU MDC) by Duncan Steel and reviewed and discussed in Steel (1996). The data cover the time period 1940-1983.

Meteor Crater, located in northern Arizona, is one of the best preserved and easily accessible impact sites on Earth. Scientific investigations of this crater have led to improvements in our understanding of impact mechanics, cratering dynamics, and ejecta distribution [e.g., 1-5]. In addition, this site has a rich history as a terrestrial analog that has been used for training astronauts, scientists, and engineers [e.g., 6-8]. In the 1970s Dr. David Roddy conducted a rotary drilling campaign at Meteor Crater, along the rim, flanks, and surrounding ejecta blanket [9]. This work resulted in 2,500 m of drill cuttings from 161 drill holes. The original samples were placed in sandwich-sized plastic bags with slips of paper that recorded drilling information (depth, hardness, losses) and sample notes [10]. They were stored in core boxes labeled with the drill hole number and footage interval. In 2008, a modern curation process was begun to properly document and store these invaluable samples, following procedures developed with guidance from the USGS Core Research Center. Samples were transferred to 200 mL polyethylene bags and placed in new, more durable storage boxes. All pertinent information from each sample bag was recorded in a digital database. For long-term archival purposes, 5 mL of representative material from each drill hole sample was placed in a separate 20 mL polyethylene bag labeled with the drill hole number and depth. Each archival sample was placed in a protective manila coin envelopes, labeled with drill hole number and depth. The archival sample collection is stored in a separate building from the full sample collection. The Meteor Crater Sample Collection is stored on the USGS Flagstaff campus. Images and sample data can be accessed electronically through the USGS Astrogeology website (https://www.usgs.gov/centers/astrogeology-science-center/science/terrestrial-analog-sample-collections?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects). This site includes an interactive map and links to drill hole documentation and database, as well as sample request forms. 1. Shoemaker, E. M. (1959) USGS OFR 59-108. 2. Shoemaker, E. M.
