A joint project between the Sultanate and the Museum of Natural History in Switzerland, which began in 2002
to study meteorites found in Oman, will see these meteorites being returned to the Sultanate soon.
The General Directorate of Minerals, part of the Commerce and Industries Ministry in the Sultanate, had partnered with the Museum of Natural History
in Switzerland to study, identify, document and classify meteorites found in Oman.
