In 1939, Dr. Assar Hadding, the Director of the Geological Institute in Lund, Sweden, described two specimens (one of limestone and one of sandstone) that he believed to be of cosmic origin. This paper briefly reviews Hadding's account and discusses three other specimens, found in the United States, that may deserve consideration in connection with the specimens found in Sweden.
