No,
Apologies to all members of the Nom.Comm who might be reading the Met List, but no, they did not find 41 meteorites in the Gobi, they found 41 Fragments of ONE meteorite.
Just read the descriptions, and they are all identical: found within 48 hours, in an area of less than 4 square kilometers, all of them L5, S=5 and W=2, almost identical composition. No, 41 fragments of 1 meteorite.

Sorry, this is a blatant example of a pairing system that is not working.
All buying of ............... You know the rest.

Hi Bulletin Watchers,

Well, some of us had wondered in the past : Is there another untapped
concentration of meteorites waiting to be found outside of NWA and
Antarctica. Some (including myself) postulated that the Gobi desert
was a possibility. In recent times, we are seeing more meteorites
coming out of the Gobi. While these may never surface on the private
market (or at least to the degree that NWA has), it appears the Gobi
meteorites are there and are being recovered in increasing numbers.

There are 43 new approvals - most are OC's from China and the Gobi.
There is also an iron from Brazil and 4 new meteorites from the NWA
DCA, including a lunar.

Best regards and Happy Huntings,
