First, congrats to Jay Piatek. Second, this stone is presently listed in the MetBull as an ungrouped achondrite, not as a Martian because it does not fall under the SNC umbrella. However, why was this not classified as at least a Martian and perhaps ungrouped? I realize that a new class requires normally 5 different specimens even if ALH 8001 is the only member of the Martian (OPX) group ...
