Assortment of Micromounts!
As far as Antarctic finds go, the numbers are skewed and biased. Every
fragment
is counted as a find. The finds from Antarctica are only a fraction of
what
they once were. Pretty soon, it won't be cost effective to work this area.
If
they counted the number of meteorites from Northwest Africa the same way,
then
there would easily be over one million pieces. There must be over 100,000
pieces
of NWA 869 alone! The Sahara Desert is by far the most productive
meteorite
producing region in the world, second to none! More weight and rare
specimens
have come from this area by far.
Best Regards,
Adam
