Hi folks, Just for caution: the suggestion to consider Mercury as a parent body for NWA 011 was just one possible suggestion, done by Palme in a News & Views item to the Science-paper of Yamaguchi et al.
In other words: NWA 011 is not yet clearly to be linked with that planet. It is one of several options. It is too early to say that NWA 011 is from Mercury and not from another parent body. By the way, I remember that some time ago a paper on the characteritsics and expected numbers of meteorites from several parent bodies (including Mercury and Venus) has been published in Meteoritics & Planetary Science. Sorry I do not have an exact reference ready at the moment: that's because I am packing up to move to another house currently. But a search on NASA ADS will probably reveil it to you.
