[meteorite-list] What types of meteorites do you collect?

[Gary Fujihara]

Greg poses a good question for the list: what types of meteorites do you collect the most and are most interested in, and why?

Well, being far too scatterbrained to choose only one type, I have many interests.  I love carbonaceous chondrites, and among them CM and CVs in particular (I love the smell of Murchison in the morning ;^)

For achondrites, I collect HEDs a lot, and love brecciated cumulate eucrites like Dho 007.

WIth respect to ordinary chondrites, I love any unequilibrated stone, and type 3s of any classification float my boat.

Oh, and last but not least, I love big, regmaglyped complete irons of all kinds.  There is something about a large iron meteorite that captures the attention and imagination of most people.
