I expect when they said objects 6 feet across don't make it to the ground, they meant they don't make it to the ground carrying cosmic velocity. There doesn't seem to be any obvious limit on the size of parent body that can produce meteorites; that depends on the dynamics of the object in the

Hi Rob and List, First of all, sincere congrats on such an exotic classification. I am eagerly waiting for Jeff Grossman's comments! Well, slashes (e.g. L4/5) indicate transitional classes whereas hyphens (e.g. L5-6) indicate breccias. In other words, an LL6-L4 chondrite seems to have an LL6
