I believe I read in one of the bulletins, "...'Amgala' and its synonym, Oum Dreyga...". If someone can find that, it would show that the MetSoc does accept these occurrences in names. Amgala was adapted first because that is where the fall was first discovered and I think it is where it "started" to fall, the larger pieces being found towards Oum Dreyga. So, should a fall be named for where it "started" falling or where the majority of material was collected? Best regards, Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------ I just looked it up on the Meteoritical Bulletin Database (who said it was a great invention? I totally agree!). I did a search on "Amgala" and it says: "Synonyms containing "amgala" Amgala is a synonym for Oum Dreyga (MB89)" Synonyms have always been accepted and listed. And some meteorites have lots of synonyms, just look up Canyon Diablo (35 synonyms)! Anne M. Black www.IMPACTIKA.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vice-President, I.M.C.A.
