I am curious.
I did look up this martian, NWA 8159 in the Met. Bulletin, odd rock with characteristics of all 3 of the SNC, so what is it?
An heterogeneous meteorite?
The missing link between all 3 martians?
A mixture of types, something like Almahata Sitta???

I did read the description on the Met.Bulletin but is there more written about it? Any papers published yet?
Did anyone take any pictures of that rock?
Would any of that explain the surprising price of $15 000.00 a gram?

Still curious.
