Hi everyone I'm new but have been watching for a month or so. Which way is right for meteorites oriented or orientated? Hola NCALIVA, Welcome to the crowd! We actually had some posts about this in the past - you can search the archives to see them accessed from the meteoritecentral.com page, or better yet a site search on google for the word orientated meteorite. There was no firm conclusion the way I remember, though there were some strong opinions that thought orientated was a bastardization of the word orientation, and that oriented was proper. Why make words longer than you have too...unless you have a special rational. So oriented would be the first choice. At least that was the majority opinion. Hope that helps!
