But how to get the aubrites from Mercury to Earth?
Although they have longer exposure ages compared to the other classes of up
to 120million years, (where Welten et al. wrote, that these ages represent
indeed true times of the transportation from the parent body to Earth and
are not caused by the exposure on the very surface of the parent body,
see:

,
wouldn't such orbits be extremely unlikely?

Just a question,
Martin
