The other problem that clogs the system is the huge number of non-
meteorites that get sent for classification. Of the ca. 500 to 1000
"meteorites" that get sent per year to Arizona State University by the
public for validation, only about 5 or 10 are actually meteorites.
While most are obviously not meteorites, it is till time consuming to
open each packet, examine the material, write a small blurb about why
it is not a meteorite, pack it up again, and send it back to the
owner. Of the actual meteorites, most are small weathered OCs.
