Hi Marc and all
SUTTER'S MILL is fitting for the entire geographic area and there is a
geographic landmark there representing it. See link. A very huge part of
this country's history. http://www.mrmeteorite.com/IMG012-1.jpg and
http://www.hmdb.org/PhotoFullSize.asp?PhotoID=341
And besides, it's the second "black" gold rush in California!
My choices, in order, would be:
SUTTER'S MILL - GNIS:
http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/f?p=132:3:1815334001433902::NO:3:P3_FID,P3_TITLE:235854%2CSutters%20Mill
LOTUS - GNIS:
http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/f?p=gnispq:3:1815334001433902::NO::P3_FID:1656142
HENNINGSEN LOTUS PARK
COLOMA VALLEY
Cheers!
Jim

the NomCom will decide to call it - I wouldnt have picked "Ash Creek"
myself!!

Hi Mark and all!
The excitement is really closer to Lotus as opposed to Coloma, BTW.
Here is a video that was NOT staged! This fellow (we did not know he was
GeoJack until a day later) walked up to us during an interview where the
reporter and camera man were trying to get a shot of the radar on my
laptop.Geojack's wife had found this stone!

Mark, this reporter would probably like to talk to you as part of this was
live and part of it was recorded.
This was a nice 8.5g stone that had a small part of the fusion crust
missing...absolutely a perfect amount just to see inside of it!
After this was shot, we went back to filming the laptop and radar view.
During this segment, Geojack brought this meteorite to us on a leather
pouch. If you are paying attention to the video, you can just barely see
me looking at what was inside that pouch!
As a side note, most of the finds are by women! Thousands of years of
finding things for the men has paid off! "Honey, where are my keys?"
"Dear, have you seen my wallet?". "Where are my glasses?" ;)
Not 50 yards from where we were standing is where the 17 grammer was
found....by a women! There's some science there, I just know it!! :)

Howdy ladies and gents
I have an important update for the Coloma fall. This may be my last
major update, but I think y'all will like it.
For the record, a 10-20 kg CM chondrite would be about a quarter-meter
in diameter. Salivating yet? I am.

I do have one request. If the media approaches you, please be
insistent in pointing out the role that weather radar played in finding
this fall and direct them to me. I am NOT fishing for attention for
myself - I honestly couldn't care less about it. But media attention is a
currency of a sort, and its a currency that I can spend to try to get
funding for this work. If I can get funding, then I can produce data
like this with better speed and quality, which will help everyone. Most
of you already have my phone number - please pass it on to the media.
Enjoy!
Marc Fries
