Hi Jack and List,

Jack asked, "Wondering why no predominately olivine or dunite meteorites
exist?"

I actually have two different 'dunitic' meteorites:

NWA 7822 Ungrouped 'Dunitic' Achondrite (>90% Olivine):
http://www.naturesvault.net/meteorites/nwa7822.html
(This one has an extremely low TKW and just one piece is left on the web
site. The 5.93g slice that is marked 'Sold' will likely be split into 3 or 4
pieces so there 'might' be a couple small pieces available soon)

NWA 7630 'Dunitic' Ureilite (>90% Olivine):
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=56613
(I do not have this one listed on my web site yet, but do have prepared
slices. Sorry, no images yet)

Best Regards,
Greg

Wondering why no predominately olivine or dunite meteorites exist? Does
this have something to do with proto planet size and crustal evolution?

Thanks,

Jack Satkoski
