Greg S. - you're on the same wavelength as me in regards to meteorite
preferences! Although I'm also very fond of carbonaceous chondrites (of
which my favorites are the more exotic primitive types: i.e. Tagish Lake
and
Murchison, etc), and out of ordinary chondrites - Ls, LLs, breccias, and
the more exotic lesser known types.
I want to become a "type" collector.

Mike and List:
Maybe that's better:
I'm not to big on Irons - only have a few and my first was an Iron.
I favor Achondrites, the more exotic the better - I think it's so neat to
see crystals in a meteorite. I also think meteorites without metal are
really cool. The bigger the crystals - the better. I favor Mars over
Lunars. I have three mars and only one lunar.
It's such a fasinating hobby,
Greg S.

Gary,
From your post it really should be What don't you collect. ;>)
I guess you may not have too many martian or lunars.
I collect similar to you except I don't go for too many irons. Just
have a couple to show people and sxplain the broad range of meteorites.
Chondrites of all shorts (especially W0 unequilibrated) and HEDs. I too
love Dho 007
Cheers!

Well, being far too scatterbrained to choose only one type, I have many
interests. I love carbonaceous chondrites, and among them CM and CVs in
particular (I love the smell of Murchison in the morning ;^)
For achondrites, I collect HEDs a lot, and love brecciated cumulate
eucrites like Dho 007.
WIth respect to ordinary chondrites, I love any unequilibrated stone,
and type 3s of any classification float my boat.
Oh, and last but not least, I love big, regmaglyped complete irons of
all kinds. There is something about a large iron meteorite that captures
the attention and imagination of most people.

This brings up another idea for a thread:
What class or type of meteorite to you collect the most and are most
interested it?
I myself like rare ungrouped achondrites and my favorite is the
Angrites.
