Since the new category of  relict (or fossil) meteorites was adopted by 
the Nomenclature Committee only  this past October, I would imagine there 
are likely other relict meteorites  in our collections which have not 
been so designated. The definition  requires that more than 95% of a 
meteorite has been replaced by secondary  phases since its fall. The 
meteorite Mills comes to mind as a possibility,  but maybe its not quite 
there  yet.
