... then NWA 3133 was determined to be a CV metachondrite and was eventually classified as an ungrouped primitive achondrite. I suspect it will eventually be reclassified as CV metachondrite consistent with what is presented on the NAU website. NWA 1839 never made the official transition from L7 to ungrouped PAC, but it too will probably eventually get a CV metachondrite label as it is presently recognized on the NAU website.
Nothing is likely to appear in the Meteoritical Bulletin or the MB database as a "metachondrite" until there is a refereed publication that defines the term and until this term at least partially displaces "primitive achondrite" in the scientific literature.
