Hi MikeG and Mendy,

Concerning a list of the meteorite types and about the martian meteorites classification have a look to the recently updated article of Tony Irving on the IMCA web site:

http://www.imca.cc/mars/martian-meteorites.htm?

Among the martian meteorites Tony defined the gabbroic shergottites sub-group with two recent unpaired NWA specimens the NWA 7032 and NWA 7320 (publication in the MetBul pending for the NWA 7320). I was lucky to acquired these two little gabbroic shergottites!?

Here is the end cut of the NWA 7032:

The HD video on youtube of the stone before cut:

Here the NWA 7320:

Concerning the ultimate list, the most difficult to obtain meteorites are, following my experience, the Kakangari and the Rumuruti. As an Indian meteorite there are very little of the unique Kakangari stone preserved, even in institutional collections. For Rumuruti it's a very small 67g stone preserved in Berlin and very few in institutional collections. I am happy to have part slice of these two stones in my personal collection but this is the result of 15 years of collecting and intense trade with Museums in the beginning of the 2000...
