It has:
230 pages
36 color photos
one map of Antarctica showing locations where meteorites where collected
a table giving locality names, abbreviations, latitudes & longitudes for
areas where the meteorites were collected
a table describing the meteorite naming
22 pages of figures showing meteorite compositions in terms of pyroxene
quadrilaterals, anorthite content of feldspar, and fayalite content of
olivine
33 pages giving chemical analyses of about 600 meteorites
a table describing meteorite classification with two pages of notes
describing the table
about 120 pages of tabular material listing all meteorites, weight, class,
%Fa in olivine, %Fs in pyroxene, etc.

With the ever increasing population of meteorite collectors making books
like this more and more difficult to obtain,
It took me 4 years to get this book and I consider myself lucky to get one.

Also check out the colorful Type 3 NWA Chondrite up for auction .

Thanks for looking !
