List:

I have a question about the meteorite class 'Lodranite'.? I have looked at the bulletin and there are 26 Lodranites listed; of these, 15 where found by 2003 and had a total weight of 2.28 kg.? Now since 2006, 11 have been found weighing 5.5 kg.? This is an amazing trend; out of the total weight (7.78 kg) of Lodranites ever found, 5.5 kg or 70% have been discovered during the last 3-1/2 years.? Wow!! Is this typical for all the finds in NWA over the last 10 years?? Do you think it will continue?? What will it do to the value?? Do other rare achondrites (Mars or Lunars) show the same trend from finds in NWA?

Thanks,

Greg S.
