Meteorites on Moon are officially called "meteorites". Find in the search form of the Bulletin database in the field, where you select the countries: "Moon". http://tin.er.usgs.gov/meteor/metbull.php
Official Meteorites on Mars can't exist yet, because we still have no possibilities to hand in the mandatory deposit masses at the classifying institutes, therefore they can't be recognized as official meteorites according the rules of NomCom. I'd say. Martin -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Steve Dunklee Gesendet: Freitag, 24.

Unless we change the definitions we can't call ones from mars, martian meteorites. Any ideas people?
