Hi Mike F., Thanks for the research. I would propose that only non Antarctic meteorites count as supply, since Antarctic meteorites are not available. I agree (which is the main reason I listed a separate column for them). In that case, the number per the Met Bul may have peaked 3 years

[meteorite-list] RE:Aventura del Monte Meteorite

Mark and all, Just looking at that photo, I would say that that is obviously a meteorite. In fact it looks similar to Sikhote-Alin. The grey scratch test would indicate magnetite, but fusion crust is magnetite. You have to get a piece of metal. Cut and polish the face of the fragment, etch
