Survey of weathering degrees of
meteorites excluding NWA:

W0 or W0/1: 054
W1 or W1/2: 241
W2 or W2/3: 520
W3 or W3/4: 448
W4 or W4/5: 178
W5 or W5/6: 013
W6: 002

Just like before, this survey does not yet include
Met.Bull. 86! But it does include all the other Hot
Desert meteorites like DaG's, HaH's etc.

Cheers,

Bernd
