The explanation is basically that olivine diogenites are diogenites, at least that has been the philosophy of nomcom. The term seems to date from 1991, according to NASA ADS (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1991GeCoA..55.1111S).

Classifications evolve, and if somebody cares to make a good case to nomcom, along with a list of all the group members, I'm sure we'd consider adopting the term formally.

Larry and Listerites
Thank you Larry for the links..... But I think my question is still unanswered or it hasn't been directly spelled out, which I am that type of person that needs it all. I do not see Olivine diogenite, and Dunite on the classification menu on the Meteoritical Bulletin Database (MBD) which is the BIBLE of all bibles when it comes to classification of meteorites. So what I am gathering at this time is that these two classes or sub or non at this time are not recognized by the MBD as a classification. Am I right? If it was wouldn't it be listed on the MBD as one. So do this mean its a subclass or something else. I have heard from some that dunites are not a meteorite classification. I have to believe that statement could be true because I don't see dunites coming up on the MDB classification menu or Olivine diogenites. By chance who coined these quote un quote classifications and why haven't they been listed on the MBD. I find it odd, but again I
  have seen a few meteorites get these weird names or nick names to create a 
buzz.

Hi Shawn:

I do not think anyone responded to your question about olinive-bearing
diogenites.

Here is a links to articles:

Sorry, but have not been keeping up on the subject.

Hello Mike, Regine, and Listers

Regine there are 486 HED meteorites that are non Antarctica. Mike and
Listers I have a question... I was trying to search for the other two
HEDOD.... Olivine diogenite, and Dunites on the Meteoritical Bulletin
Database and under class they do not have those listed. Am I missing
something? Or am I overlooking the classes and I need glasses?

Hi Regine,

All HEDOD meteorites are assumed to be Vestan in origin - Howardite,
Eucrite, Diogenite, Olivine diogenite, and Dunite. :)

Best regards,

MikeG

Hi all,
Is there a list of assumed Vesta meteorites?
