I would say that's a good one too simply because it's a crater maker.
Craters are cool... ;)

Good list but, I would have to squeeze Carancas in there somewhere. Very few
meteorites have posed as many questions
while at the same time providing
many new answers. Too many to list here but it has all the bells and whistles
to go along with the Scientific interests.

Hi Folks,
Yeah, I was being arbitrary in my observations to that list. It did
generate some fun and useful discussion, so the writer(s) succeeded on
that count. :)
About ALH 84001 - When NASA made that infamous press conference
announcement back in 1996, there were some strong questions about t
Not so fast!!
The list provided by the Science Channel was surely the result of
tremendous consideration and is BRILLIANT and SPOT ON(and the
Macovich Collection's control of the largest privately owned specimens
of #3, #7 and #8 is purely coincidental ;-)
Seriously? The Science
Hello Eric, All,
I would disagree. Since we really don't know what made those
features, you're simply dealing with little inorganic structures that
science says are similar to those made by organisms on Earth.
You can hype them up in the media until the cows come home, and wish
for life on Mars un
Mike, List,
Perhaps the point of the Top Ten list is not to make a Top Ten list at
all, but rather a conversation piece and publicity generating article
simply to gain traffic. I mean we are after all speaking about it at
length and have done so in the past as well...
@Jason - In regards to
Hello Mike,
On the contrary, Orguiel is a CI1, and is thus one of the most
primitive pieces of matter on the planet. It hasn't experienced
temperatures above about 200C - and contains a multitude of complex
organic molecules, just like Murchison. The only reason more work
hasn't been done on it i

My point was not that we all disagree on the list, but rather the
seemingly misplaced importance of the discovery of another life form
from another planet and that that evidence was found in a meteorite. In
my opinion, that trumps any other meteorite that has even been discovered.

Hi Eric and List,
An interesting little presentation, but I don't agree with some of the
entries on the list.
Let's start from #10 and work our way to the top.
#10 - Allende. Allende certainly belongs on the list, but I think it
may merit a higher rank than #10.
#9 - Murchison. This one also
Hi Jason,
I agree and realize the "Top Lists" have been discussed, but my point
was not about that or Willamette, or Hoba, or large meteorites at all. I
was stating in my opinion that the #1 meteorite of ALL TIME should be
the one in which another life form not from Earth is discovered. Isn't
Hello Eric, All,
We covered this on the list a while back - making such a list is
pointless, because it depends on the criteria being most valued -
current scientific importance, historical scientific importance,
popular interest, historical value, aesthetics, or whatever else you
deem important.
