The work before the reader constitutes a comprehensive and up-to-date compendium of the principles, methods, regulations, and criteria that govern the official classification of meteorites within the framework of the current international nomenclature. Each chapter has been developed from a rigorous technical perspective, based on the knowledge accumulated over decades of scientific research in meteoritics, geochemistry, planetary mineralogy, and the curation of extraterrestrial materials. The work takes into account not only the most recent reference manuals and specialized articles, but also the internal minutes and protocols of the Nomenclature Committee of the Meteoritical Society, the institution responsible for ensuring the consistency, traceability, and validity of the global meteoritic language.
The author, José GarcÃa, has combined in this work his experience as a curator, classifier, and meteorite analyst with a systematic approach that prioritizes conceptual clarity, solid documentation, and a continuous argumentative structure. The result is a treatise that transcends a simple compilation of rules and becomes a comprehensive guide for professionals, researchers, and advanced students who wish to understand, apply, and respect the formal mechanisms for naming and validating solar system materials.
All texts have been carefully reviewed to ensure the correct use of scientific terms, the accuracy of cited references, and consistency of style throughout the volume. The sections are written with the aim of maintaining a formal narrative tone that encourages in-depth and thoughtful reading. The concepts discussed are accompanied by bibliographic citations incorporated directly into the text, consistent with the style of the book.
This volume has been edited according to academic quality criteria, but without neglecting the commitment to the dissemination of curatorial knowledge, a still little-known but fundamental aspect in the field of cosmopetrography and the scientific management of meteoritic heritage. We hope that its reading will serve not only as a technical reference, but also as a training framework for those who dedicate their work to the study, conservation and transmission of the stony legacy of the stars.
