The new Martian meteorite NWA 7387 has been studied by researchers at
the Museum of Planetary Sciences in Prato (near Florence), but instead
was purchased in Morocco by Giorgio Tomelleri of Verona.

The meteorite was this year in Ensisheim and some slices were cut by
my friend Francesco Moser. In Ensisheim Tomelleri had also brought a
piece of 220 g of Tissint with a hole and with crust to 100%.

The new martian has a provisional name.
Remains to be determined if it is a shergottite, a nakhlite or chassignite.
