Hello Frank, Robert, and all, There's another new shergottite from NWA that is recently under publication. This unique Martian meteorite has been recovered by Bruno and Carine from Morocco in April 2001, and if the classification proves to be correct it's the first picritic shergottite, an olivine- rich Martian rock type, previously unsampled!
If you would like to see a picture of NWA 1068, please visit Bruno's and Carine's new website at: http://www.meteorite.fr/en/forsale/SNC.htm You will find NWA 1068 under it's synonym "Louise Michel". Bruno's and Carine's website also provides an up-to-date list of all known Martian meteorites that can be found at: http://www.meteorite.fr/en/classification/SNC-group.htm#List Enjoy!
