Meteorite classification for building the Chinese Antarctic Meteorite Depository—Introduction of the classification of 500 Grove Mountains meteorites
Meteorites provide an important window into the origins and evolution of the solar system. Since the first four meteorites were recovered in Grove Mountains, Antarctica, in 1998, a further total of 12665 meteorites have been collected over seven polar seasons in the Grove Mountains. All of these met...
