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
