It was interesting to see the find and fall percentage so close and that LL's did not get a higher rating. I goes to show there are many reasons why we like and collect meteorites.</P> <P>Mark Bostick</P> <P>www.MeteoriteArticles.com<BR></P></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>From: "Jeff Kuyken" <JEFF_at_METEORITESAUSTRALIA.COM> <DIV></DIV>>To: "Meteorite List" <METEORITE-LIST_at_METEORITECENTRAL.COM> <DIV></DIV>>Subject: [meteorite-list] Results of "What's Your Favourite Ordinary Chondrite?" <DIV></DIV>>Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2003 18:38:08 +1100 <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>G'day List, <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Firstly, thanks to all those who sent in replies to the post. While it's hard to get a good cross-section from 20-30 different replies, there were some interesting and somewhat unexpected outcomes. It started with an on-slaught of the LL-Chondrites (which I sort of expected) but a number of collectors in the last few days sent in majority votes for the H-Chondrites and slightly tipped the scales. The final result: <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>H-Chondrites: 37% <DIV></DIV>>H/L Chondrites: 0% <DIV></DIV>>L-Chondrites: 30% <DIV></DIV>>L/LL Chondrites: 5% <DIV></DIV>>LL-Chondrites: 28% <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Falls: 48.8% <DIV></DIV>>Finds: 51.2% <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>And as for the overall most popular meteorite....... <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>there isn't one! ;-) It was tied between several different meteorites. They were... <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Thuathe (H4) [Fall] <DIV></DIV>>Vytaka (H4-5) [Find] <DIV></DIV>>Portales Valley (H6) [Fall] <DIV></DIV>>NWA 869 (L5) [Find] <DIV></DIV>>Richfield (LL3.7) [Find] <DIV></DIV>>Ensisheim (LL6) [Fall] <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>with meteorites like Bensour, Kilabo, Gold Basin, Holbrook, Zag and Honolulu coming in a close 2nd! (All Falls too except for G.B.) <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Hope you all enjoyed this interesting little exercise! Maybe in the near future I'll think of a different favourite to ask about! <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Cheers, <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Jeff Kuyken <DIV></DIV>>I.M.C.A. #3085 <DIV></DIV>>www.meteoritesaustralia.com <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>MSN 8 helps <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMYENUS/2743">ELIMINATE E-MAIL VIRUSES. </a> Get 2 months FREE*.</html> Received on Mon 17 Mar 2003 08:51:36 PM PST |
