  The question was: "What are the top 10 most SCIENTIFICALLY important meteorites?".

  If it were stated that the complete understanding of the mechanisms that led to the formation of a particular meteorite might possibly:

  "...CHANGE our view of the geologic histories of the asteroids in which SEVERAL types of meteorites formed"

  and/or, if a noted meteorite researcher and author wrote: "..in regard to the EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY of meteorites, this meteorite IS important"

  might that meteorite be considered to be one of the most scientifically important meteorites?

  Just curious.
