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 ...
