List experts,
Does any kind of compilation exist giving the terrestrial ages
(experimentally determined) of FINDS, in particuler concerning NWAs or
finds from hot deserts ?
Thanks for sharing any kind of info on this.
Kind regards,
Zelimir

I will not debate the legacy of Antarctic meteorites. They have had
a wonderful history and their contribution to science has been
invaluable. Most researchers are sample oriented and are not biased
by find location but there are still a few that cling to legacy.
Antarctica had a a two decade plus head start in the abstract/paper
queue so naturally there are more documents. Ten years ago, maybe
one in ten papers were on hot desert finds. Now, I estimate about
50%. At this rate, as very important samples from NWA and other
deserts enter the queue, it will not be long before these finds
handily overtake Antarctica by a wide margin in the business of
science.
In other words; There is not enough material coming out of
Antarctica anymore to reverse the current trend which favors the hot
desert meteorites for research material in the future.
