Abstract

In this report I present the petrographic characteristics and official classification of meteorites NWA 14801, NWA 14802 and NWA 14803, all of the HED group of achondrites, whose samples arrived at the laboratory during 2021 for research in order to certify them. Since the samples of scientific interest are accumulating in the laboratory repository, the process of classifying them has begun, in order to give part of them to scientific research, and officially record them with their corresponding classifications. The three meteorites were presented for official classification to The Meteoritical Bulletin in 2022, during this phase of relevant samples classification.
