Tschermak (1872b) described the Shergotty meteorite as a variety of eucrite in which the plagioclase is represented by maskelynite. Brezina (1904) elevated it to a distinct type named shergottite. However, the utility of such a distinction is not obvious, and Shergotty and the only other meteorite of this type, Padvarnikai, are here classed as eucrites.
