50% is not even close. I counted the peer-reviewed papers in the 2012 volume of MAPS. In the 58 non-review papers that reported analyses of physical samples of meteorites, 52% used falls, 12% used non-desert finds, 24% used hot desert meteorites, and 28% used Antarctic meteorites. (this sum

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 decad

Carl, I'm guessing that the reason for the disparity you speak of below between NWA and Antarctic meteorites is that EVERY antarctic meteorite get collected with no filtering while the NWA meteorites are brought to light by economic drivers. Old, weathered or uninteresting material does not get

Hi Mike, Add to that list NWA 7731 (L3.00). Semarkona (LL3.00) may still be King, but 7731 is certainly a Prince! The only thing that Antarctic finds have going for them is that weathering is much slower there than in North Africa, so fresher material in general. But if I look at the ANSMET annua
