Hello Carl and All,

I think the real question here should be if all of the classified "NWA/KemKem" meteorites you mentioned (NWA 001, 052, 753 & 755) are even paired. I do not think any scientist would currently check these out personally and compare them, just being a chondrite and all. I think it was a good thing the NomComm realized quickly and early-on (late 90's) that things would get way out of hand without a "generic" Northwest Africa (NWA) designation to achieve some sort of order with the flood of different meteorites that were coming out of Northwest Africa (Morocco), and have since. Generic designations, of course, have been applied to Oman finds and other regions of the world.

Best regards,
Greg

So far there are NWA 001, 052, 753 & 755 with the pseudonym of Kem Kem. Anymore? should be at least one more with a H5(?) classification (Brian Cox/PlanetBrey),but probably many more. Interesting topic.
