Scientific paper

Delaney et al. (1983) propose to redefine howardites as basaltic achondrites containing more than 10% of magnesian orthopyroxenite (diogenite) component. Since the 10% requirement is arbitrary and of no genetic significance this redefinition should be rejected and the earlier definition of Score et al. (1982) "Howardites are polymict pyroxene-piagiociase achondrites containing magnesian orthopyroxene" in any amount - should be retained.
