ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM

Some 93 meteorites are represented in the collection as of March 15, 1999

On November 10, 2000 my wife Lori and I, Dean Bessey, Mike Tettenborn and his friend

Jeff visited the Royal Ontario Museum and got a grand tour of their meteorite
collection. This is the collection that is not on display and is hidden 3 floors

down in the basement.
