[meteorite-list] Ordinary chondrites - rarest to the most common classes

[Carl 's]

*Sorry for the repost. My original question did not make much sense.*
  
Hi Jeff,
 
I've been puzzled about what you said and perhaps I've misread or missed your comments. Why do you think the R chondrites should be included in the oc clan? I thought this was a very unique idea.
  
Thank you all for this interesting topic.

 conservative colleagues are normally willing to accept, I would say that
 the rarest group of OCs is the R chondrites (only ~100 are known and
 many of those are paired).In addition, a number of unique ungrouped
 meteorites are OC-like.But again, I don't know of any colleagues who
 agree with me that R chondrites are in the OC class. [I would say that
 the OC class has two clans, the H-L-LL clan and the R clan].
