Dear list members,
please allow me to announce a new, sensational meteorite find from the
Sahara desert. NWA 7325 seems to be a completely new type of achondrite.
Among all the thousands of meteorite finds and falls is not a single
comparable meteorite. NWA 7325 was classified by Dr. Anthony Irving, who has
written an exciting report about it. Here is the link to his report:

In the coming days I would like to post some interesting photos of NWA 7325.
Pieces are covered with a light-green crust (partly vesicular) which is
absolutely amazing.
Best regards,
Stefan
