a collection of meteorite images I took
during my academic research and travels.

(Many of these meteorites also feature in my first book, Meteorite)

Please feel free to use them for educational purposes, phone/desktop wallpapers, etc. (and please credit me!), and do get in touch if you have any questions. High-resolution versions are available on request. (I always say yes.)
