Make your homework. How many different meteorites do we have from
Antarctica after a third of a century hunting and spending billions of
USD? 7000.
This statement, appearing in some of the recent emails, is wrong. There
are over 16,000 classified meteorites from the ANSMET expeditions, plus

Jeff - your statement from below Also, don't overlook the fact that
Antarctic meteorite have proven to be vastly more valuable scientifically
than NWA meteorites is misleading and somewhat biased. Meteorites of the
various classes are nearly equally represented in the Antarctic and Desert
I can now report with some authority that the total cost of 30+ years
of collecting by ANSMET has been in the range of $20
million. Considering the record of scientific achievements that has
been built on this collection of 20,000 specimens, I would have to
say it has been a bargain.

Hi Jeff and List,
I agree with most of what you stated in your last post although I believe there
is a real bias among a very few scientists, and certainly a few museums.
Access to planetary material , Angrites and other rare material from NWA is
supposed to be a simple matter of contacting

Martin,
Sometimes I just can't believe the ways you'll skew things to justify
dealers' actions.

High-grade, profound discussion apart from certain personal disagreements.
There surely is more to it than what just meets the eye, regarding the bottom

This might be a typical question for Jeff Grossman.
I am also continuously puzzled by the abundance
of paired meteorites (thus those that are officially recognized as such).

Zelimir brings up one more case that I didn't cover... when two names
