Greetings,

It will be called what the Nomenclature Committee decides to name it as
naming has always been done in the past. Dr. Jeff Grossman made mention the
name Livingston would probably not be used due to conflict with other named
specimens.

Best!

I see everybody starting to call this fall "Livingston"... but this is
not likely to be accepted as the name since there are already meteorites
named Livingston (Montana) and Livingston (Tennessee).
