I also would nominate ALH84001 as well as
NWA998 which is almost identical to
ALH84001. They both have contributed
much to science.
Last but by no means any lesser than the above
is Monahans 1998 for the ultra thrill of it's
microscopic H2O (water) contents.
These, and the other two, NWA 482 and
NWA 5000 would be the top 5 in science
value.
For beauty, I'd list almost all of the pallasites.
Glorieta, Esquil, Brahin, and Brenham , and
Seymchan come to mind quickly.

Hello Greg and List,
Yes, Mike and Jim did a fantastic job getting this wonderful meteorite to
the collector's world, but I do remember some great work that you and Adam
did with many of the scientist. I think I remember seeing pictures of you
guys at NASA, if I remember correctly, doing presentations on this stone.
That is what I meant by my comment in regards to you and Adam. Nothing
was
meant to be taken away from Mike and Jim.
Take Care,
Jason

but they are great questions to be asked.
These are just two off the top of my head. I am excited to see what
others
think are some of the greatest.
First, I must correct the fact that Mike Farmer and Jim Strope brought
NWA 482 to the meteorite world. Adam and I were very fortunate to have
been the majority stake investors on their Moroccan expedition which
produced this One-of-a-Kind lunar Crown Jewel and we still hold the
312-gram oriented main mass.
Jason, I can Thank you for recognition for NWA 2999 however, the
Angrite from the Sahara which started a lot of, Where are Angrites
from? abstracts and articles. I have been extremely fortunate to have
been the one source for all three of the Angrites emerging from NWA, and
not to mention my Saharan friends who helped to bring these to us. NWA
4801 and NWA 4590 Tamassint are the freshest Angrites to have survived
the ravages of earth's Mother Nature-effect in her attempt to
'terrestrialize' alien matter once it hits the earth's surface. If
interested in Angrites, do not forget to pick up a copy of the current
issue of Astronomy magazine (November 2008), a good un-biased look at
whether Angrites are from Mercury or another body!
Best regards,
Greg

Hello Matt and List,
That is a great question and one that we are blessed to be able to ask
thanks to the NWA rush that we have been so fortunate to be a part of.
I would say:
NWA 482- The first NWA lunar that gave all of us a chance to own a piece
of the moon (and Greg and Adam did an excellent job of letting this
meteorite reach the scientists and the world).
NWA 2999- Which probably created more questions than actually shed
light, but they are great questions to be asked.
These are just two off the top of my head. I am excited to see what
others think are some of the greatest.
Take Care,
Jason

Hi all
I am going to give a presentation on meteorites from NWA and am curious
what you think (scientists and collectors), what the top 5 most
important meteorites from NWA would be. Which ones have shed new light
on our solar system?
Thanks,
Matt
