A Rock-Solid Science Experience

By Justin Zani | Posted: Wednesday May 14, 2025

This week, our students were treated to a visit from Marshall Palmer, one of the geologists who identified New Zealand's tenth meteorite last March near Tekapo.

OBHS has had a camera on the roof searching for meteorites since 2017, so it was great to hear more about this successful science initiative.

Marshall brought in a collection of meteorite fragments, including some from the Tekapo meteorite, and explained how they found it and what they are learning from it.

Thanks for an awesome talk, Marshall!
