Nobody can do that. I've got close to a couple hundred pieces in my collection that I've built up over the past 25 years. I own classes of meteorites that most museums don't even have because the museums that I got them from told me where the other pieces were. I can safely say that I have handled and seen even more in that time. The IMCA got started in my living room. I wouldn't even call something a meteorite unless it got tested. As Anne Black recently said, people guessing what they have and presenting it as such is nothing but harmful for the science and commercial trade of these rocks and that woman has seen and handled stuff that I can only dream of.
