Hi, Elton, List,

I see Jeff Grossman has already replied, but I looked
because I'd like to download a PDF like that myself.

Here's the best of what I found:

>From the Book "Meteorites and the Early Solar System" (2004),
the chapter "Systematics and Evaluation of Meteorite Classification."
Downloadable as a (34-page) PDF:
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/books/MESSII/9014.pdf
(I see that this is Reference #3 from the wikipedia
article that Jeff Grossman referred to -- and recommended.)


This is only readable online:
"Meteorites, Comets and Planets, Vol.1"

The geek in me has always been curious as to the actual classification
criteria that a researcher uses to make classification. Does anyone have
them by name or PDF or hard copy? Or volunteer to explain the general
scheme for different classes?

Sounds like fodder for a met-times expose?.
