> I will not debate the legacy of Antarctic meteorites.? They have had  
> a wonderful history and their contribution to? science has been  
> invaluable.? Most researchers are sample oriented and are not biased  
> by find location but there are still a few that cling to legacy.?  
> Antarctica had a a two decade plus head start in the abstract/paper  
> queue so naturally there are more documents.? Ten years ago, maybe  
> one in ten papers were on hot desert finds. Now, I estimate about  
> 50%.? At this rate, as very important samples from NWA and other  
> deserts enter the queue, it will not be long before these finds  
> handily overtake Antarctica by a wide margin in the business of  
> science.

> In other words; There is not enough material coming out of  
> Antarctica anymore to reverse the current trend which favors the hot  
> desert meteorites for research material in the future.
