You've brought up some good points. I had asked a similar question several

Really? I was speaking about "different meteorites".

This is not about enthusiasm or generations of scientists. This is
about specimen availability and curation. With extremely rare classes,

This brings up a question: If a meteorite in unclassified, how does it affect

Hi Marcin and List,
oh NWA 5980 is your number of this same material?
What was the result of classification?
I was not sure what it is. I hoped its something similar to Udei Station but
then I have seen same material in Ensisheim (it was propably NWA4024). I was
surprized that its winonaite.
I can now report with some authority that the total cost of 30+ years
of collecting by ANSMET has been in the range of $20
million. Considering the record of scientific achievements that has
been built on this collection of 20,000 specimens, I would have to
say it has been a bargain.

Hi John,
NWA 4024 is indeed a nice example of the
discrepancy between Met. Bull. data and the
amount of stuff circulating on the market.
This is perfectly illustrated if you compare the
