First, congrats to Jay Piatek.

Second, this stone is presently listed in the MetBull as an ungrouped achondrite, not as a Martian because it does not fall under the SNC umbrella. However, why was this not classified as at least a Martian and perhaps ungrouped? I realize that a new class requires normally 5 different specimens even if ALH 8001 is the only member of the Martian (OPX) group ...

>Dear list,

>I'm looking to develop my sub-collection of Holbrook stones from historic sources. The rule is simple: the stone must have a painted number or original label or both, from a museum or from an early 20th century private collection.
>
>I already have some from AMNH, Smithsonian, Berger, Krantz and others.
>
>Since many meteorites were deaccessioned recently from the University of New Mexico, I thought that there might be some Holbrook from there available. I'm also actively looking for Holbrook stones with Nininger, Huss and Monnig numbers/labels

>Please contact me if you have anything for sale or trade ( http://www.thetricottetcollection.com/tradelist.html )

>Thank you and a Happy New Year to all,
