Dear List,

I have some revised numbers that are the most accurate available for the
ratio between Non-Antarctic and Antarctic planetary material. Pairings are
taken into account. The overall ratio is 1.66:1 in favor of non-Antarctic.

SNCs
Qty Non-Antarctic Qty Antarctic
19 10

Lunar
Qty Non-Antarctic Qty Antarctic
16 11


Updates:
SNC
An unpaired Shergottite remains in provisional status.

Lunar
Yamato 1153 cannot be confirmed, no formal pairing status or weight reported
(remains unofficial). Nobody seems to be able to provide answers regarding
this stone.
A set of Dhofars has been paired because a transitional stone was found.
A non-NWA Mare Basalt has been confirmed but not officially reported.
An Egyptian Lunar Highlands has been confirmed in two labs but no abstract
yet submitted.

 Thank you to the scientists who provided me with the most up to date data.

All the best,

Adam Hupe
