1) If it turns out to be a brecciated H5 or H6, this would bring the
total to 48 brecciated specimens.
2) If it turns out to be an L5 or L6, this would add up to a total of 44
brecciated L5 or L6 specimens.
3) The total for LL5 or LL6 chondrites is 28.
1-3 => without U.S. Antarctica
4) I've only got 1 U.S. Antarctic H5 specimen in my database that
appears to be brecciated: WIS 90302 / 3864.6 gr ( no brecciated H6, L5
or L6).
5) LEW 88564 / 6.5 gr and LEW 88586 / 6.4 gr and LEW 88606 / 2.7 gr.
These meteorites show a brecciated interior with dark matrix surrounding
areas of light matrix.
