So far so good, but:

Hm!

Typically, a lot of people always consider

Statistical survey:

042 pallasites worldwide without Antarctica
038 mesosiderites worldwide without Antarctica

005 US-Antarctic pallasites (or maybe 6 => QUE 93148)
026 US-Antarctic mesosiderites ( or 27 => ALHA81208)

002 Japanese Antarctic pallasites (maybe some more now!)
004 Japanese Antarctic mesosiderites (maybe some more now!)


Best wishes,
