From detailed abundance analysis of >100 Hamburg/ESO candidate extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars we find 45 with [Fe/H] < -3.0 dex. We identify a heretofore unidentified group: Ca-deficient stars with sub-solar [Ca/Fe] ratios and the lowest neutron-capture abundances; the Ca-deficient group comprises similar to 10% of the sample, excluding Carbon stars. Our radial velocity distribution shows that the carbon-enhanced stars with no s-process enhancements, CEMP-no, and which do not show C-2 bands are not preferentially binary systems. Ignoring Carbon stars, approximately 15% of our sample are strong (>= 5 sigma) outliers in one or more elements between Mg and Ni; this rises to similar to 19% if very strong (>= 10 sigma) outliers for Sr and Ba are included. Examples include: HE0305-0554 with the lowest [Ba/H] known; HE1012-1540 and HE2323-0256, two (non-velocity variable) C-rich stars with very strong [Mg, Al/Fe] enhancements; and HE1226-1149, an extremely r-process rich star.
