[meteorite-list] "Black Martian Beauty" NWA 7034 has just hit the headlines

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 ...
