Abbott	which depends on its composition						can be severe due to long exposure time to environmental corrosion agents			during meteor phase which depends on composition		1951	polymict regolith breccia				9.5 kg		Abbott		Colfax County, New Mexico	meteorite find		lower because the fall was not witnessed	36° 18' N., 104° 17' W.	directly proportional to initial velocity
Clovis no.1	low								85.7 % of meteorite falls	high because it is more friable than iron meteorite									based on the locale, region, or nearby town in which the fall occurred		strewn fields, elongated footprints which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity	H3 chondrite			in degrees, minutes and seconds of lattitude and longitude	high because it is more friable than iron meteorite
Grady (1937)	which depends on its composition	sharp optical extinction, irregular fractures	the nature and degree of thermal metamorphism or aqueous alteration	less than 5 GPa	3.7		can be severe due to long exposure time to environmental corrosion agents	providing insight into geological evolution of parent asteroid		during meteor phase which depends on composition	shock metamorphism	1937		sharp optical extinction, irregular fractures	sharp optical extinction, irregular fractures	unshocked	9.3 kg	orthopyroxene for enstatite chondrite	Grady (1937)	before, during or after other types of metamorphism	Grady, New Mexico	S1 shock stage chondrite	S1	lower because the fall was not witnessed	34° 48' N., 103° 19' W.	directly proportional to initial velocity
