Re: Monahans



Hey Jeff and List,

What actually has to happen before a meteorite is given an "official synonym
name?" Obviously it takes more than mentioning it on this list!  :-)

 For all who might care, the recent Texas meteorite fall
 has been officially named.  It is "Monahans (1998)".  The old
 Monahans iron will now go by "Monahans (1938)".  This
 meteorite has not yet been classified, but JSC is working
 on it as we speak.  Although some of you made a valiant
 effort, no synonyms will be listed in the Meteoritical
 Bulletin.
