RE: [meteorite-list] Meteorite pronunciation

For me is easier to pronounce La Criolla that Cat Mountain, it depends on if you are from the country where the meteorite was found... and even that not allways works. Look for example our Angrite, D'Orbigny. It was found 400km from home and I needed a lesson from Anne to get the right pronunciation!.

At least I know how to pronounce most of the Arizona meteorites.  How far off can you be with "Cat Mountain"? John At 07:38 PM 4/3/02 -0700, Matt Morgan wrote: How about La Criolla? I heard from Eduardo (meteorites.com) say it like "La Crioche". Is that correct or was my hearing messed? Same with Mocs, Gero Kurat from Vienna said "Mocsh". Werid to me.
