 Steve has a point there, is the new name cross correlated in some way
with 'West' in the actual database? (It just came up as Ash Creek when I
searched). - Just worries me it's a great way to loose a few thousand
specimens of a fall, if in the future you can't cross correlate the
label names!

I also wonder if there was any way a name could be officially assigned
at the time of a fall rather than several months after it's recovered?

Out of interest, is the name that's given the nearest place/town to the
first recovery, or to the majority location of the finds? How's it
decided?

Best,
Mark

Jeff,
 
Does the Nomenclature Committed assign "official synonyms" such as West
as
well?
 
As they say, it is hard to get the toothpaste back in the tube once it
is
out.

I just wanted everybody on the list to know that the Nomenclature
Committee has approved the name of the recent fall near West,
Texas. It will have the official name "Ash Creek". See this and 38
