Hi list

The NWA case clearly shows why coordinates are important. Many paired NWA's are classified by different researchers (not always arriving at the same verdict). This makes the situation confusing and, above all, it is a waste of effort. With coordinates, it would be easy to find out which stones belong together, and which are not.

I agree that for a scientific study of an interesting special meteorite, it does not matter much where it was found. But if more of the same stuff turns up, you want to know if it was found together with your special sample, or whether it is a different fall.

Best regards
