Hello All,

Ryan inquired:

"Who in the world ever came up with the term 'Planetary' in reference to meteorites."

The first time I saw it used was in an abstract in Meteoritics in 1994, July:

M.M. Lindstrom (1994) What Would we Miss if we Characterized the Moon and Mars with just Planetary Meteorites, Remote Mapping and Robotic Landers? (Meteoritics 29-4, 1994, A491).

Cheers,

Bernd
