Hi Pat,
I believe that Allende continues to be the most studied meteorite for
reasons that are intrinsic to Allende. Also, far more Allende was
recovered than initially reported: there is easily more than an order
of magnitude more Allende than Murchison. /dp

Darryl and the list,
That Allende is the most studied is in part due to luck. In what was
one of the best ways to spend our tax dolars, IMNSHO, the USA built
a team of the best scientists with the best tools to study the lunar
rocks. This team was all dressed up with no rocks to study, and
along comes Allende.
The question, IMNSHO, is not: Why is Allende so inexpensive?, it is:
Why is Murchison is so much more expensive?
Murchison TKW 100Kg per the Meteoritical Bulletin
Allende TKW >100Kg per the Meteoritical Bulletin
Anybody want to sell me some Murchison?

It seems odd, does it not, that the single most researched
meteorite (Allende) sells for only $10/g?
