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

[tett]

Gary,

 From your post it really should be What don't you collect. ;>)

I guess you may not have too many martian or lunars.

I collect similar to you except I don't go for too many irons.  Just 
have a couple to show people and sxplain the broad range of meteorites. 
Chondrites of all shorts (especially W0 unequilibrated) and HEDs.  I too 
love Dho 007

Cheers!
