Reading in Nortons book he descibes how a meteorite
gets its "H" or "L" rating based on chondrules etc.
Does anyone have a "rating sysytem" as to what is a
S1,S2, W2,W3 etc. I did not see any references to this
scale in the book, maybe I missed it. My othe
rquestion is what does a reseacher look for, steps
taken to decide that this is a H4, S2, W2 etc.
I am looking to buy another book on meteorites. I have
Nortons and Haag's field guide, what else should one
buy.
Thanks for your help.

Ed
