Hello Listers,

Out of those 56 falls since 2000, I would have to say Almahata Sitta and Tagish Lake has to be by far my fav falls.

Hi List, 

With Lorton now being official (thanks to Greg S. for pointing this 
out), here is a break down of types for all official meteorite falls 
in the 21st century. Only falls that are officially-approved and 
appear in the Met Bulletin are counted. 

Type : Total falls since 2000AD (56 total falls) 

CM2 
CO3.6 
CV3 
C2-ung 
EL6 
L5 : four 
L5/6 
L5-6 
L6 : nine 
LL5 
LL6 : five 
H/L4 
H3.8 
H3-5 : two 
H4 : two 
H4-5 : two 
H4/5 : two 
H5 : twelve 
H5/6 
H6 
Ureilite 
Eucrite : five 
Iron IIE-an 

Some observations about this tally : 

H5 is the most common with 12 total falls in the last 10 years. 
L6 is the second-most common with 9 total falls in the same period. 
LL6 and Eucrite tied for third-most common with 5 each. 
There are a total of 24 H-chondrites. 
There are a total of 21 L-chondrites. 
There are a total of 4 carbonaceous chondrites. Each is different type. 
Of the 6 achondrites to fall, 5 of them were eucrites. (the other was 
a ureilite) 
Only one iron has fallen in the last 10 years. (IIE-anomalous) 

Best regards,
