Abstract
Eighteen specimens have been reported as so-called "meteorite" in Mongolia(Mongolian People Republic). However only seven of them are recognized as true meteorites and they have been classified as 3 irons and 4 stones including one achondrite ureilite. Search for meteorites in Gobi Desert have been carried out by the Japan-Mongol joint team at 1974, 2002, 2003 and 2004. Unfortunately no meteorite found in Gobi Desert, however the joint team identified one meteorite, almost 2kg stone in some museum. The stone was display as one of terrestrial rocks in the museum of Saynshand City.
