Please,
No, no more acronyms!
The world is being invaded by those meaningless, un-translatable
monstrosities.
Lets make it simple.
We have had for a long time such a thing as: Achondrite Eucrite
Polymict Breccia.
Now we can have: Achondrite Martian Basaltic Breccia.

Simple as that.

Jeff,

Now that you are at NASA you can appreciate the perverse things people
do with words just to come up with a cool acronym. Making the new
Martian meteorite acronym even half way cool requires some drastic
measures, like giving NWA 7034 Basaltic Breccia Black Beauty a new
name based on locality: I propose "saharaite". So we now have the
meteorites from Mars or "SCANS"

S: shergottite
C: chassignite
A: ALH 84001
N: nakhlite
S: saharaite

Enjoy!

Don't forget ALH 84001, the pyroxenite.
SNCPB?
If we use the N from NWA instead of B, and the A from ALH, how about 
CANNS?
Or maybe we should just do the sensible thing and call them Martian
meteorites?
