Hi Anne,
I have to agree with you a bit about acronyms, and I do think that
"Martian, Basalt Breccia" is a fine simple descriptive type for NWA
7034 -- hey, that's what I classified it as!
But, I think it is worth clarifying that eucrites are HEDs (howardite,
eucrite, diogenite) and of course som
Having spent 2 weeks every year from the ages of 11 to 16 gathering
potatoes (tattie howkin) in Angus fields, I am very impressed that someone
actually found one in this environment. Lots of small dark basaltic stones
covered in damp soil to reject. Given the timing of the article in
October, I am
Peter, John and Listers
I am happy that I was able to donate a great meteorite to the National Museums
Collection Centre and excited to see how it turns out how the High Possil
meteorite fragment will be displayed.

With world-wide meteoritic heavy-hitters chiming in on this, (and me a
meager newbe) I can't help but suggest that this will be re-visited many
times over-and over, very soon in fact. Four distinct Martian types might
be only the tip of what may emerge in our near future (certainly!) What

Okay! We're settled, then: AMBB it will be!

Hi John/list,
I believe the recent find near Perth by Rob Elliott that you mention
is not linked to the 1830 Perth meteorite. It is apparently a new find
and I understand it is currently being classified at Glasgow
University :-)

This does not apply to meteorites from dense collection areas.
Technically, each newly found stone should get its own number. If they
are highly distinct, it is possible to declare an official pairing which
will appear in MetBull, and have them treated as one meteorite for the
purpose of dete
Hi Martin,
Here is an excerpt from our noble gas abstract for NWA 7034, Cartwright et al.:
"We obtain T3, T21 and T38 ages of 5.1 Ma, 11.4 Ma and 5.4 Ma
respectively. The older T21 age may result from heteorgeniety of
target elements like Ca and Mg within the breccia. T3 has little

Please,
No, no more acronyms!
The world is being invaded by those meaningless, un-translatable
monstrosities.
Lets make it simple.
We have had for a long time such a thing as: Achondrite Eucrite
Polymict Breccia.
Now we can have: Achondrite Martian Basaltic Breccia.
Simple as that.

Carl, Greg,
It's my understanding the names of meteorites, once determined they
pair to another, should then have the same name, eliminating one of
the names.
Is this not correct???
Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the information, Carl.
I can't wait to read more in six days.
Does the CRE-age of ~5 My mean that NWA 7034 probably represents a new impact
event or could it somehow be related to the shergottites Y793605 and Y27
with their ejection age of ~4.70 ± 0.50 My?
Best regards,
Hi Greg,
The NWA 7034 "main mass" is the original ~320g single stone "Black
Beauty" that I started working on back in August of 2011. For a while
I thought it was the only one in existence, but over the past few
months more stones, all smaller than 320, have been recovered. The two
additional ston
If you go with Habibite we could call them SHACN (pronounced shaken) . shake,

I agree that the people of the Saharan Desert deserve to be honored
with a piece of meteorite nomenclature. The residents of the Sahara
have done much to advance the science of meteoritics. They deserve
some official recognition. Scientific nomnenclature is largely an
anglo-dominated affair peppe
Dear carl
I prefer as I told you all
Marroconaite in honor of morroco hunter that brought to science
Saharanite is ok
But habibite would be fun

Hi Carl,
It is lunch time for us Floridians so I am just taking a break and munching
on some SNACS...
Seriously, What is the current count of NWA 7034 'official' pairings and how
many stones constitute each of those? We have all heard of 'paired' stones

popular pronounciation of the former "SNC")
Of course, I second "Saharaite", (always favoring a name over a number)
Incidentally the former proposal "SNCB" appears a little funny, almost
ridiculous to us Belgian citizens, bacaus
Jeff,
Now that you are at NASA you can appreciate the perverse things people
do with words just to come up with a cool acronym. Making the new
Martian meteorite acronym even half way cool requires some drastic
measures, like giving NWA 7034 Basaltic Breccia Black Beauty a new
name based on localit
Yes Jeff, maybe dropping the acronym and just calling them all Martian may be
the sensible thing.
After all, you don't want the general public SNCering at us, do ya?

Thankyou very much Shawn. Hope there are plans for display in Chambers St.
Did anything ever come of the following story I am wondering. Was it part
of the 1830 fall or did it turn out to be a new find or an m.w.?

Hello all,
I have two historic rare Brazilian meteorite available for trade:
- Macau 0.368g slice. First Brazilian observed fall, 1836. Killed several
cattle (Catalogue of Meteorite, Monica Grady)
- Itapecuru-Mirim 0.943g fragment. 1879 fall. 2 Kg TKW.
Provenance is Brazilian National Museu
Don't forget ALH 84001, the pyroxenite.
SNCPB?
If we use the N from NWA instead of B, and the A from ALH, how about CANNS?
Or maybe we should just do the sensible thing and call them Martian
meteorites?

This is really great. We have a few Indian meteorites in the collection. But I
hadn't realised how many there where until I saw them pinpointed on a map.
