| Summary: | The detection of Antarctic meteorites of Lunar and perhaps Martian origin, belongs to the most important discoveries in planetology during the last years. There is such a wealth of new information on differentiated and undifferentiated planetary bodies deduced from Antarctic meteorites that it is at present not possible to even qualitatively foresee the impact that these meteorites will have on the understanding of the formation and differentiation of large and small planets in the solar system. Martian meteorites, Lunar meteorites, meteorites from the parent body of basaltic achondrites, and chrondritic meteorites are discussed. |
