Hi List,
It's been about 2 months since NWA 5789 was mentioned and I was
wondering if there was any new insights or observations about it that
someone might share? At one time there was talk that this meteorite
might be a new Martian type which doesn't fit neatly in the current
SNC classification. Has there been any update on this, and will the
Nom Com approve it as a new type (and what name would they use for the
type?), or will they simply file this one under Shergottite with
"anomalous" in the notations?
Best regards,
MikeG
