Oh, there are other ureilites with at least 90% olivine. A very quick
search finds that Singletary and Grove (2003) list GRA 95205 and GRO
95575 with 94% and 90% olivine, respectively.

Hi All who showed interest so far in the 'only' Dunitic Ureilite, NWA
7630 (so far as I can see)!
I will put together a listing and photos over the next few days and
let you know what is available of this very cool Dunite.
Thank you for your interest!!!
Best Regards,
Greg

Hi Jack and List,
Jack asked, "Wondering why no predominately olivine or dunite meteorites
exist?"
I actually have two different 'dunitic' meteorites:
NWA 7822 Ungrouped 'Dunitic' Achondrite (>90% Olivine):
http://www.naturesvault.net/meteorites/nwa7822.html
(This one has an extremely low TKW and just one piece is left on the web
site. The 5.93g slice that is marked 'Sold' will likely be split into
3 or 4
pieces so there 'might' be a couple small pieces available soon)
NWA 7630 'Dunitic' Ureilite (>90% Olivine):
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=56613
(I do not have this one listed on my web site yet, but do have prepared
slices. Sorry, no images yet)

Wondering why no predominately olivine or dunite meteorites exist?
Does this have something to do with proto planet size and crustal
evolution?
Thanks,
Jack Satkoski
