Scientists have identified three distinct asteroid families in the main asteroid belt as source of 70% of Earth 's meteorites.
The Karin , Koronis and Massalia asteroid families are said to be responsible for 37% of known Earth meteorites. Younger families of asteroids, broken up by relatively recent collisions, are composed of more fragments.
As time rolls on, families get older and slowly lose their fragments, becoming less of a source for meteorites, scientists say.
