Welcome to the meteorite collection of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science (DMNS), of which an abbre-viated catalog is included. Although small in size (677 specimens from 253 sites), this collection’s roots run deep and are intertwined with the birth and maturation of the science of meteoritics in the United States.

Its history begins nearly a century ago, with the nation’s first Curator of Meteorites, Harvey Nininger (Figs. 1, 13; McCall et al. 2006). Nininger amassed what was then the world’s largest private collection of meteorites (Huss 1986; Palmer 1999), a portion of which became part of the DMNS collections. His verve for discovering and studying meteorites set the stage for ensuing Museum curators, volunteers, and a regional network of com-munity scientists and avocational collectors to grow the collection and increase awareness of meteorites (Nininger & Nininger 1950; Nininger 1952; Nininger 1973; Ivy & Hagadorn 2013). At the same time, the Museum and its community began to decipher the scientific importance and historical relevance of meteorites and their associated finds (Murphy & Sanders 2000; Murphy 2002; Sullivan &

Klebe 2004; Caldwell 2005). Meteorites are, in the most basic sense, extrater-Meteorites are, in the most basic sense, extrater-Meteorites are, in the most basic sense, extrater

restrial rocks that do not completely burn up as they hurtle through our atmosphere. When they are still in outer space, we know them as asteroids, or if they are small in size (<1 m diameter), as meteoroids. Once they enter our atmosphere, we call them meteors. Unlike most Earth rocks, they are composed of an odd mix of minerals and metals—including nickel and iron, which allow magnets to stick to most of them. Meteorites that are dominated by silicate minerals, like igneous rocks on earth, are traditionally classified as “stony” meteorites. “Iron” meteorites are primarily composed of nickel-iron minerals like kamacite and taenite, and most contain crystalline shapes not found on Earth’s surface (Fig. 2). Meteorites that are a blend of silicate minerals and nickel-iron minerals are called stony-iron meteorites.

Meteorites commonly have a burnt appearance—like a well-seasoned cast iron pan. This so-called “fusion crust” forms during their scorching descent through our atmosphere (Fig. 3). This crust is often superimposed atop scoop-shaped depressions on their exterior surfaces,

known as regmaglypts (see cover image). The latter often form as vortices of hot gas vaporize portions of the meteorite as it falls.

Nearly everyone who has stared at the night sky has witnessed a meteor leaving a trail as it enters our atmo-sphere at 40 kilometers per second (~90,000 miles per hour). That is because shooting stars are mostly dust- to sand-size meteors. Millions of these bits of rock bombard Earth every day, but scant few of them are big enough to survive entry. If a meteor is big enough to make it down to the surface it is called a meteorite (meteor + ite). “Ite” means “rock or “stone”, and has been used to describe minerals and rocks since the days of Aristotle.

Most meteors explode or break apart mid-way through our atmosphere, and most of those that are large enough to reach the surface plunk into the oceans. Rarely, they blast ring-shaped craters into the Earth’s surface. Occasionally a land-bound meteor will hit a structure, like the one that burst through the roof of a garage in Cañon City, Colorado in 1973 (Figs. 3, 4). If a meteorite is recovered shortly after being witnessed passing through our atmosphere, like the Cañon City

meteorite, it is known as a “fall”, whereas if it is found years or millenia later, it is known as a “find”. A good example of a “find” is the first meteorite discovered in Colorado, the Russel Gulch meteorite. It was found while miner Otho Curtis was felling a tree near Central City—back in 1863 when Colorado was still a territory.

Meteorites have played important roles in our history, from folklore about exploding fireballs to their use as sacred objects and in cultural rituals. They provided accessible sources of metal in ancient times, whether for adornment or as implements. Meteorites, especially iron ones, have been fashioned into axe heads, anvils, nails, plowshares, and cannon balls. Even King Tut was entombed holding a dagger made from a meteorite! Mete-orites also fascinate us with their alien interiors. Unlike most earth rocks, a cut-in-half meteorite will sometimes consist of millions of tiny droplet-shaped grains called chondrules, or will reveal interlocking arrays of banded metallic minerals known as Widmanstätten patterns (see Rear Cover). Thus meteorites are not only sought after by scientists, but they are prized by collectors, both for their rarity and their beauty.

Meteorites are old and their origins are diverse. Most represent debris that originated in the asteroid belt that lies between Mars and Jupiter. Some formed as

rocks that were ejected during collisions between early planetary bodies, including Mars and our moon. Many of them are quite old—with the vast majority having formed four or more billion years ago during the accre-tion of our sun and its planets. Because they spend eons in the sterile vacuum of outer space, they have been shielded from the unforgiving elements that break down rocks on our planet’s surface.

This one-two combo of early origin plus an eternity in space is what makes meteorites special—even the common ones. We do not have any rocks left on earth that record our planet’s origins because they have all been eroded or recycled by plate tectonics. Consequently, to understand our planet’s early history, we must study these ancient relics. A substantial portion of our understand-ing of our planet’s and solar system’s early history comes from study of meteorites and associated materials.

Meteorites are also an efficient and effective way to explore space. It costs a lot less to find and study a meteorite from Mars, the moon, or a giant asteroid, than to land a rover on one of these bodies. As an example, the two hundred or so Martian meteorites (Fig. 5) have greatly augmented our knowledge of the planet because they originate from all over the surface of Mars. In con-trast, rovers have journeyed to only a dozen or so places on the red planet. Hence, Martian meteorites extend our knowledge of the planet’s geology across a greater diversity of environments and time, providing clues about both ancient Mars and present-day conditions. The same is true for lunar meteorites and our knowledge of our moon.

With these scientific benefits in mind, massive col-lections of meteorites are being systematically assembled to tap into these records of deep time and planetary formation. Some scientists are even using them to under-formation. Some scientists are even using them to under-formation. Some scientists are even using them to understand conditions that fostered the evolution of life itself, or to identify minerals that are known experimentally but aren’t accessible on our planet’s surface (e.g., Ma & Rubin 2019). At the same time, historic museum collections of meteorites are being re-examined with new scientific approaches and instruments to look for additional clues about our origins, and for linkages to cultural history (e.g., Havens et al. 2018). With these goals in mind, below we present an abridged chronology

of the DMNS meteorite collection, including an overview of its evolution, idiosyncrasies, and its organizational structure. Our hope is that we pique your interest and inspire additional use of this collection.

History of the CollectionSince its inception in 1900, the Museum has focused on building inspiring and helpful exhibits, with an eye toward fostering public support of nature and science (Fig. 6). Although records of early collections are sparse, the first known meteorite in the Museum was the Rio Arriba (a.k.a. Glorieta Mountain, NM) meteorite, donated in 1912 from honorary curator R.C. Hill. The first major meteorite display was built in 1923, from a collection of 22 meteorites donated by the Colorado Sci-entific Society. In 1924, the Museum traded a portion of its collection of the Four Corners meteorite for meteorites from nine other sites from New Mexico—using them to round out the exhibit. In that same year, the Johnstown meteorite fell in Weld County, Colorado and the Museum purchased several pieces of that specimen, later trading

some of them to peer institutions, including the American Museum of Natural History, for other meteorites.

In 1930 Harvey Nininger joined the Museum as curator of meteorites. Nininger was one of the Museum’s most notable scientists; his work helped bring the study of meteorites, meteorite craters, and meteorite falls into the crosshairs of the scholarly community. Nininger brought

his considerable private meteorite collection to the DMNS for display. He also began to add to the Museum’s col-lection, under a special arrangement with the Museum Director, Jesse Figgins. In ensuing years, new specimens from 17 meteorite sites were acquired for the Museum, including a fragment of the giant 15+ ton Willamette, Oregon, meteorite.

Throughout the 1930s, Nininger’s and the Museum’s meteorite collection continued to grow. By 1933, Nininger had established DMNS as a place that would acquire meteorites from interested owners either by purchase or donation (Fig. 7). For example, the Museum amassed one of the country’s largest collections of the Canyon Diablo meteorite, of Arizona “Meteor Crater” fame. Via trade, donation, and purchase, the Museum literally accumu-lated over a ton of Canyon Diablo specimens.

By 1936, Nininger had acquired representative specimens from 351 meteorite localities for his personal collection, and the Museum collection had grown to represent 107 sites. Nininger began working with a magnetic detector around a reported crater in the meteorite-rich farm fields of Haviland, Kansas, but only had minor success. The Museum’s meteorite display grew to be quite large in the late 1930s, as both the Museum’s and Nininger specimens were on display for the public to see. By 1938, Nininger’s personal collection of specimens included nearly 4,000 pieces from 450 sites. In 1939, he began using a magnetic rake (Fig. 8) in the area around Arizona’s Barringer Crater, site of the Canyon Diablo meteorite impact. This approach yielded many small nickel-iron meteorite fragments.

As World War II ramped up, Harvey Nininger dedicated most of his attention to war efforts, and after the war he left for the University of New Mexico. Before leaving, he donated some specimens to the Museum and traded some of his material for Museum specimens—but took most of his personal meteorite collection with him. In 1946, Nininger moved to Arizona State College (now Arizona State University), where he began collaborating on meteorite research.

In the latter half of the 1900s, the Museum focused on discovering meteorite specimens from the Colorado region, and acquiring significant local collections. In

1955 one of the Museum’s most important collections was donated—the collection of Dean M. Gillespie, donated by his two daughters. This collection comprised 192 specimens from 22 individual sites and was soon brought to the public in the meteorite display alcove. In this alcove, the latest hypotheses about evolution of our solar system were integrated into a display of meteorites, including many from Colorado (Fig. 9).

In 1969, the Museum stopped integrating its mete-orites into its mineral collections and created a separate catalog and prefix system for the meteorite collection (see below). At this transition point, there were about 500 specimens from 140 sites in the collection. The largest number of specimens in the collection came from the Canyon Diablo meteorite.

In 1973 a meteorite fall was witnessed in Cañon City, Colorado where a meteorite punctured the roof of a residential garage—making local headlines (Figs. 3, 4). Museum staff visited the site and purchased both the

piece of roof that had been penetrated by the meteorite and a large fragment of the meteorite itself. In 1977, the meteorite collection held by the Colorado Scientific

Society was donated to DMNS. This collection included 27 specimens from 21 sites.

In the 1990s, slices of the Museum’s first Martian meteorite, from Zagami, Nigeria, were purchased. In 1998, Blaine Reed helped make 35 thin-sections from meteorites in the museum’s collections—helping gain insights into their composition and structure. The Museum also purchased 57 additional thin-sections from him, further diversifying the collection. A large polished slice of the Guffey meteorite was purchased as well as an additional fragment of the Cañon City meteorite to complement the punctured roof. By 2000, the meteorite collection numbered 597 specimens from 237 sites.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Museum’s Meteorite Research Team and its newly installed All-Sky Camera began tracking meteors and “fireballs” in Colorado (Fig. 10). This group was the first to involve K–12 students in analyzing data from the All Sky Camera Network—a

collaboration which used cameras to comb the sky to find fireballs from falling meteorites. They used them to predict the locations of impact sites and then searched for these witnessed meteor falls. The system was designed by DMNS volunteer Frank Sanders and promoted by DMNS educa-tor Gianna Sullivan and DMNS research associate Chris Peterson. Where feasible, curator Jack Murphy led volun-teer search teams into likely areas of impact to search for meteorite debris—but none has yet been recovered.

From 2000 to 2004, Murphy also helped name ten new meteorites, including six from Colorado—the Apex, Briggsdale, Cotopaxi, Granada Creek, Ovid (b) and Stoneham meteorites. He also leveraged the Museum’s large specimen of the Rifle, Colorado meteorite, to resolve a longstanding question about whether it was its own distinct meteorite type or was merely a piece of far-traveled ejecta from Meteor Crater in Arizona (see summary in Buchwald 1975). Although the Rifle meteor-summary in Buchwald 1975). Although the Rifle meteor-summary in Buchwald 1975). Although the Rifle meteorite was not associated with a bona fide crater (Murphy & Caldwell 2002), its distinctive chemistry and mineralogy set it apart from Canyon Diablo meteorites and pointed to it representing a separate meteorite find (Click 2003).

Shortly thereafter, the Museum purchased two more Colorado meteorites, including two pieces of the Elbert meteorite in 2004 and a fragment of the Eads meteorite in 2005. In 2006 the Museum purchased the Sidney meteorite, a specimen discovered in Nebraska in 1941. Ironically, this meteorite was known to Harvey Nininger, but he was unable to convince its owner to part with it during his lifetime. The Museum purchased 57 additional meteorite thin sections in 2007, mostly rep-resenting international falls and finds. In recent years, there have been few meteorite acquisitions, and the strength of the collection lies in its historical nature, and its high concentration of meteorites from the Western Plains states (Fig. 11). 145 of these specimens are from Colorado (Appendix; Murphy 2002); additional infor-Colorado (Appendix; Murphy 2002); additional infor-Colorado (Appendix; Murphy 2002); additional information about these meteorites is available in Morgan (2000) and Cestkowski (2019).

Structure of the DatabaseThe Museum's meteorite specimens are cataloged using the lettered prefix, DMNH EGT. DMNH is the official

abbreviation for the Museum because it was originally called the Denver Museum of Natural History. The col-lection is housed within the Department of Earth (E) Sciences’ geology (G) storage facility, whose collections have their own specific prefix, in this case T for meTeorite (M is used for Minerals; see Havens et al. 2018). Follow-ing these prefixes, each catalog record has a sequence of numbers, which refer to individual specimens, or speci-men lots. In the case of meteorites, there are often many fragments that came from the same meteoroid, and/or that were collected from the same site. As an example, all Canyon Diablo meteorites in our collection bear the catalog number EGT.25 but because we have 180 specimens from this site, each one has a unique decimal number. Figure 12 illustrates Canyon Diablo meteorite specimen 86 of 180, cataloged as DMNH EGT.25.086. The ensuing appendix is an abbreviated version of our data-base for this collection, and includes columns with the DMNH EGT catalog number, the name of the meteorite, the meteorite type, find or fall determination, a descrip-tion of the meteorite (CC=Corner Cut; EC=End Cut(s);

ES=Embedded Slice; F=Fragment(s); PPS=Polished Partial Slice; PS=Polished Slice; TS=Thin Section; WP=Whole Piece), the location of the find or fall, and the source of the specimen (i.e., donor, collector, buyer). Meteorites have been classified using the composition-based protocol of the Meteoritical Society’s Committee on Meteorite Nomenclature.

The meteorite collection has additional printed material or images associated with each meteorite which are available in the DMNS Archives. For many specimens, additional locality data, collector information, dates of acquisition and related provenance information are also recorded in the Earth Sciences database and records, but are not presented here due to space limitations. The Museum’s rock and mineral collections also contain a variety of meteorite-related materials such as tektites, impact breccias, as well as a worldwide collection of impact materials that characterize the Cretaceous-Paleo-gene boundary (Hagadorn et al. 2018). This additional information and meteorite-related materials are avail-able upon request.

AcknowledgmentsWe are grateful to Harvey H. Nininger who ushered the Museum into the meteorite world, to the collections managers and volunteers who have shepherded this collection over the years, to the many donors who have provided specimens to build this collection, and to Jack Murphy who carried the Museum’s meteorite torch for so many years. We thank Rene O’Connell and Rick Wicker for assistance with photography and archival images used in this publication, Kristen MacKenzie and Meghan Truckey for their guidance through collections and historical records, and our many friends in COMETS (Colorado Meteorite Society) for helping keep us con-nected.
