Eucrites, howardites and diogenites
Of the 1,063 observed falls in NASA’s Meteorite Landings dataset (records to 2013), 60 are eucrites, howardites and diogenites: igneous achondrites from one differentiated parent body. The same dataset holds 526 complete find records of this group, so seen falls make up 10.2 % of its records. Median recovered mass of the falls: 1.4 kg. The heaviest is Millbillillie (330 kg, 1960). The earliest is Mässing in 1803. The most recent is Puerto Lápice in 2007, one of two from that year.
Bright dots: falls in this group. Faint dots: all other observed falls.
