The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The IAB Iron-Meteorite Complex: A Group, Five Subgroups, Numerous Grouplets, Closely Related, Mainly Formed by Crystal Segregation in Rapidly Cooling Melts (2002, background): “Iron meteorites account for 0.04 of the meteorites that fall; this is the value that one obtains from Grady (2000) after elimination of the results for unclassified irons.”
Meteoritic parent bodies: Their number and identification (2002, background): “The largest number of distinct parent bodies is probably sampled by the ungrouped irons, which numbered 95 in Grady (2000) and account for ~10% of known irons.”
Weathering of Chondritic Meteorites (2006, background): “With only 1000 falls in modern collections (Grady, 2000), the ratio of falls to finds has changed dramatically since 1969.”
Magnetic classification of stony meteorites: 1. Ordinary chondrites (2003, background): “Sitathali, classified as an H5 but with a logχ value like an LL or L/LL based on the large samples from Paris, is reported to be anomalously poor in total iron (Grady 2000; 24% total iron instead of the average 27% for H).”
Cataclysmic bombardment throughout the inner solar system 3.9–4.0 Ga (2002, background): “…shock-degassing ages in three groups of meteorites: ordinary chondrites (LL, L, and H), which comprise 82% of the meteorites that fall to Earth [Grady, 2000]; howardites, eucrites, and diogenites (HED), silicate-rich crustal and regolith rocks from a differentiated planetesimal, the remnants…”
