G. and A. Hupe received an initial sample of this specimen in September 2001. After concluding that it was in fact a meteorite they purchased the rest of the specimen from a dealer in Erfoud, Morocco 2 months later. It is believed that the NWA 1110 was recovered in Morocco. The total known weight is 118g.
For more information about the NWA 1110 (basaltic shergottite) visit the Meteoritical Bulletin Entry Here: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=17124
The NWA is classified as a Martian basaltic shergottite. Inclusions of chromite and glass are present. No fusion crust is present in specimens. Due to the mineral composition of this specimen it is highly possible that it is paired with the NWA 1068.
No available specimens at this time.
I I believe I have a shergottite meteorite. I would like to send some pics if this is ok. I found this in 1989. It weighed 666 grams. I cut a 35 g slice using a thin diamond opal blade. I compared it with a piece of terrestrial basalt. They looked similar with the exception of the meteorite has been through intense heat could be seen.
