[meteorite-list] Question for type collectors

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks]

Hi folks!

I am not a type collector per-se, but I like to keep track of how many
different petrologic types I have in my collection.

I have a silly question about type collecting -

Do type collectors consider each type of iron a seperate petrologic
type?  For example, are all octahedrites considered 1 type?  Or is it
different types for "coarsest", "coarse", "medium", "fine", etc?

Right now I have 42 petrologic types - counting ALL irons as only one
type.  Should I go through my collection and correct that count to
reflect the different types - IIAB, IAB, IVA, etc?

Thanks in advance!

MikeG
