Only falls that are officially-approved and appear in the Met Bulletin are counted. Type : Total falls since 2000AD (56 total falls) CM2 CO3.6 CV3 C2-ung EL6 L5 : four L5/6 L5-6 L6 : nine LL5 LL6 : five H/L4 H3.8 H3-5 : two H4 : two H4-5 : two H4/5 : two H5 : twelve H5/6 H6 Ureilite Eucrite : five Iron IIE-an Some observations about this tally : H5 is the most common with 12 total falls in the last 10 years. L6 is the second-most common with 9 total falls in the same period. LL6 and Eucrite tied for third-most common with 5 each. There are a total of 24 H-chondrites. There are a total of 21 L-chondrites. There are a total of 4 carbonaceous chondrites. Each is different type. Of the 6 achondrites to fall, 5 of them were eucrites. (the other was a ureilite) Only one iron has fallen in the last 10 years.
