Meteorites listed in the same box with a slash (/ ), e.g., MacAlpine Hills 88104 and MacAlpine Hills 88105, are verified or assumed pairs - they are two or more fragments of a single object that made the Moon-Earth trip. Other unidentified pairings may exist. Pairing relationships among stones from northwestern Africa stones are not as well established as those from Antarctica and Oman. Some of these assumed pairs may be wrong. |

1 It is not always possible to identify the type of breccia from the small sections used to classify many on these meteorites and different petrologists don't always agree on the classification. Some of these classifications might be in error. Impact-melt breccia implies a fine-grained matrix that crystallized from a melt. Only meteorites in which "glass spheres" or "glass beads" occur are listed as regolith breccias. All polymict breccias are likely to be fragmental, regolith, glassy, or impact-melt breccias with more detailed study. | |||||||||||||
