Hello List,
What is so hard to understand about this?
Let's not forget that the science of meteoritics is big business. Well, not big by Microsoft or American Airlines standards, but compared to collecting it sure is. I was given a number a couple years ago that $12,000,000 a year is given out
Dear List,
It is interesting to note that the Non-Antarctic to Antarctic ratio is
different when it comes to planetary material.

Dear List and Adam,
I do not have my copy of MetBase 6.0 yet so it is difficult
for me to compare the latest SNCs numbers but... ;-)
What about somebody who have a time and knowledge (Adam?) will make a

As for rare meteorites, which I will define as non-ordinary-chondrites,
there are 1550 from Antarctica and 467 from commercial collections.
Let's refine the numbers a bit. Pretty much the start of hot desert
collecting
was in 1998. Of the numbers you quote above how many are since the start
You are right; it is hard to compare the statistics. Many or most of the
described multi-fragment Saharan meteorites are those that decrepitated in
place in the much harsher weathering environment of hot deserts compared
with cold ones. Meteorites that formed strewn fields get just as many
Re: collecting Ban.
These scientists/time wasters that support a collecting ban would do
well to sit down and think about their actions...
Firstly 90% of all meteorites are found by 'collectors/hunters' (or
dealers to collectors). Do these scientists really want to loose these
thousands and

envy you the updating task), but here goes. I have rearranged parts of

Dear Sergey and List,
I feel the performance increase in rare finds from the desert is
attributable to free enterprise and education. Moroccans and nomads

Something like that:
Deserts Finds:
Without taking sides in this debate, I can help get the statistics straight.
73% of classified and published meteorites are Antarctic (source Metbase
v6.0, total 20,366 of 27,732 meteorites ).
Of the remaining meteorites, ~56% (~4100) of them are in numbered series
directly attributable to
Hi Eric, Dr. Grossman and all,

Another comparison would be total mass. We know that NWA 869 has been estimated
at 1500-2000kg alone. What is the mass of all the Antarctic meteorites?
This is and would be an important consideration. I have noticed that a lot of the
