Default My meteorites came from Vesta asteroid? So far my total meteorite recovery approaches approx 50 Kg of material; how much mass to reshape geography



--- quoting from http://www.psrd.hawaii.edu/PSRDglossary.html#E

Eucrite: A common class of achondrite meteorites composed of pigeonite
and plagioclase. These
meteorites formed as basaltic flows on a parent body, probably
asteroid 4 Vesta.
--- end quoting

I find it remarkable that a meteorite here on Earth can be assigned
with some assurance to a astro
body. That if all my meteorite finds are eucrite and basaltic would
have likely come from Vesta.
