I'm still slogging through the paper. If you're serious about doing the same, PM me with a email address. Apparently the pix are still under copyright and NASA itself hasn't decided to flaunt the results. It took almost three years of juried arguments to get the paper approved for publication.

This paper has just been cleared for publication, and an old, old friend of mine is one of the authors.
The papers disputing this should be interesting to read.

FIVE NEW MARS METEORITES FOUND
The finding of nakhlites in Antarctica is for the first time and it suggests that the Yamato meteorite field potentially includes more unique meteorites. We describe the analytical results of the meteorite.
Field Occurrence: About 60 % of Y000593 is covered with black fusion crust, and the interior is greenish colored. Several days after the finding the quite similar specimen (Y000749 of 1.3 kg) was found. It is suggested that it is a paired specimen with Y000593. Two meteorites locate on a bare ice field of the north of JAREIV nunataks, and the area had insufficiently searched only by JARE-20. In the area, the heaviest meteorite in the Yamato bare ice field has been also found by the same expedition of JARE-41.
