I agree that the people of the Saharan Desert deserve to be honored
with a piece of meteorite nomenclature. The residents of the Sahara
have done much to advance the science of meteoritics. They deserve
some official recognition. Scientific nomnenclature is largely an
anglo-dominated affair peppered with words from dead classical
languages. That should change with the times.

Best regards and happy huntings,

MikeG
