Hi Carl and List, Thank you for this update on the change. However, what exactly does this mean in practice? For example, would a find with coordinates like Mreira now be classified as a NWA 10xxx ? Or will finds with firm reliable coordinates still be considered for a place name and not a NWA

Also Mriera should be a fall. Jambon did the neuclides on it and clearly falls in the timeframe i first suggested. I can give that info to whomever wants it. Matt On February 14, 2015 12:04:53 PM MST, Galactic Stone Ironworks via Meteorite-list meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com wrote: Hi

Hi Mike, In a nutshell, the new rules allow geographic names for any Moroccan meteorite with find coordinates. To simplify the naming in desert areas, part of Morocco will have DCA grids. Under the new rules, any meteorite without coordinates, originating in Morocco or surroundings (meaning in

I am curious. I did look up this martian, NWA 8159 in the Met. Bulletin, odd rock with characteristics of all 3 of the SNC, so what is it? An heterogeneous meteorite? The missing link between all 3 martians? A mixture of types, something like Almahata Sitta??? I did read the description on the

Hi Y'all, In a nutshell, from this point forward, DCA's will be created in the form of grids. From this point forward, new finds with coordinates will have DCA names. That's what I get out of it! Happy days everyone! Jim Wooddell On 2/14/2015 12:04 PM, Galactic Stone Ironworks via
