Dear List,

It has come to my attention that several dealers are using the NWA 1110
designation to describe their untested Martian finds. NWA 1110 consists of
several fragments weighing 118 grams, all of which were looked at by a
planetary scientists (Dr. Irving)and confirmed to be authentic. NWA 1110 is
paired to NWA 1068( 654 grams) and NWA 1775(25 grams). As far as I know no
other designations have been made official at this point and type specimens
have not been deposited for testing so take your chances.

If it is not pictured here it is not NWA 1110:

Wishing everybody the best,
