List experts,
Does any kind of compilation exist giving the terrestrial ages
(experimentally determined) of FINDS, in particuler concerning NWAs or
finds from hot deserts ?
Thanks for sharing any kind of info on this.
Kind regards,

Hello Zelimir and List,
Zelimir inquires:

Bernd, I was at 100% sure you will be the first to reply and bring a
positive answer to my request.
Definitely, your info database is invaluable!
On behalf of the whole List (and of the whole meteorite community in
general), I wish to express you a warm THANK YOU!
Best wishes to all,
50% is not even close. I counted the peer-reviewed papers in the 2012
volume of MAPS. In the 58 non-review papers that reported analyses of
physical samples of meteorites, 52% used falls, 12% used non-desert
finds, 24% used hot desert meteorites, and 28% used Antarctic
meteorites. (this
Jeff Stated: Papers on hot and cold desert meteorites are subequal, which is
the trend we all see.
I agree with this statement. They were not subequal just a few years ago
meaning the trend is favoring hot desert finds long term.
The number of rare and unusual meteorites coming out of the
Hi all,
Just a thought. Don't know if it has been mentioned in this thread, but I
wonder how many Falls have been reported out of the Antartic and what
importance would the actual sighting of a meteor and it's recovery hold to the
science and importance of the specimen? I can think of one for
I think where NWA and the hot desert finds have had the greatest
benefit to science with a capital S are in achondrites and in
particular martian meteorites. If you look at the abstracts at
2012-2013 LPSC and MetSoc (no, I didn't actually count them) the
martian meteorite literature is now
Carl Stated For lunars though, at least for the foreseeable future, there
will never be a contest for dominance because of the 390 kg of Moon rocks from
Apollo, which will be the gold standard until we return to the Moon.
I agree that the Apollo returned Moon rocks are a national treasure.
Adam,
I totally agree! And actually the lunar meteorites are telling us that
the Apollo collection is highly skewed towards the mare basalts and
other possibly atypical rocks of the nearside. Now if we could just
prove that a particular lunar meteorite was a sample from the South

approach
to the sun, a large coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted from the sun's

hemisphere in what appears to be about the same direction from which the
comet
came.
