There are two reasons why we can't get rid of carbonaceous chondrite
group names. First, unlike Martian meteorites, we don't know where C
chondrites came from. We can't point to a single asteroid as the source
for any of them, let alone all of them. So the group names are still
serving their
Hi Jeff and all you Nomenclature Enthusiasts out there:
I think the martian meteorite names do serve a useful purpose, they
are a sort of short-hand, so that you don’t have to be an igneous
petrologist to know that one type of martian is different from
another. So when we say a martian meteorite
Dear Jodie - Selling on eBay is a dubious endeavor in itself.
Scientists are not enslaved to the problems of economic gains for the
unenlightened eBay "flea marketeers".
NWA 7034 has extremely significant scientific potential, possibly
equivalent to or exceeds that of what the Mars Rovers ha
Hello everyone,
Instead of using exotic names for this group I would suggest to give to the new
group the name of the place where the NWA 7034 was found like the other groups
of the martian meteorites.
It will be a honor to all the hunters and dealers in the Maghreb (Morocco,
Algeria, Maurit
Great to hear from you Dr. Ted; and thanks for the levity.

If it's not named, how are people supposed to sell dubious samples of
it on eBay? :-p~

Well stated Jeff, one of the few times recently that we agree on issues.
There is the "fever" to coin new terminology for this apparent "unique"
stone (NWA 7034), which in essence is a breccia, but may not be a
"basaltic breccia". Everyone should calm down and wait until some
further research
Hmmm then maybe
Maghrebinite ? :-)

Maroccoite is also close to the mineral Marokite (CaMn2O4) already
named to honor the occurrence (Morocco or "Maroc" in French)
Berberite carry many favorable arguments however that name is very
close to the mineral Berborite (a BERyllium BORate)...
But I agree the NWA countries should be h

Hello Martin, all,

Hi,
Saharite is a term I coined many years ago for the crenelated fulgurites from
the Sahara that I believed merited a special moniker—and it's a term which
never stuck.
The references are few and far between and most citations are either my auction
description copy or cribbed from the sam
Meteorite group names are not invented by NomCom, and certainly not by
NASA. The come from usage in the scientific literature.
I think we have to remember why names like shergottite and nakhlite came
into being. Scientists like to group similar things to help bring order
to chaos. When you
Since Saharite is already in use, and Moroccoite or Maracite (if meant to honor
NWA)
are overly exclusive (ignoring Algeria, Western Sahara, or even Tunisia and
Libya),
why not Berberite? (Apologies if this has already been suggested.) The term is
inclusive, and honors the people responsible for f

Saharite is already in use in reference to fulgurites found in the Sahara
Desert.

Hello List
What I can say, new iron comes up to the light.
Specimens with very nice shapes what is hard to show on photos. Specimen
looks much better in person. Remainds me Mundrabilla or Gibeon when
comparing external surface.
Working on few etches specimens right now.
Enjoy

Hello there,
well, in some cultures the new week starts on Saturday (and we will be good
boys&girls and will be quiet the necessary following days)
but the initial Ad is already sold out and we were asked for more of the new
iron recovery.
So excuse us,
that we post now additional specimens.
