I am wondering if there is any online definition of the currently used classification system as it differs from the system described by Norton. Specifically when a meteor is classified as a H, L or LL of 3.X with a weathering of Y and a shock rating of Z. Where would one find the definition of X, Y and Z? Second question, are there any online photographs that show the comparision of 4, 5, and 6. I am a big fan of unclassified NWA's and would like to get some feel for what these meteors are? Last question if I wanted to learn more about the technical side of the hobby, what would be good reading material on or off line. I am looking to go alot deeper than Norton.
