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.
