"Now who says that NWA meteorites are less worthy than others?"

You never heard these words coming out my mouth. Over 65% of our collection
consists of material from NWA, a collection that would not be if it were not
for fantastic pulls on some of yours and other's expeditions such as 482,
998 and 2626 unpaired planetary Main Masses. Add NWA 1195, 3136 and 3163
unpaired planetary Main Masses to the mix and the only thing missing is a
Chassignite Main Mass. On top of this, add NWA 1110 and NWA 3160 studied
submasses, all of the other planetary material pulled from the Sahara and
one would have to say "NWA meteorites are definitely worthy!" Not only are
they worthy, the scientific value is immense! For comparative purposes,
only two planetary main masses have come from the U.S.

My thoughts,

Adam
