Not sure why this Subject keeps reoccurring on the List. Also, not sure why we are troubling Jeff about meteorites that haven't been submitted to his Committee ... it's simple... go to this web page to see if it has been approved:
http://meteoriticalsociety.org/bulletin/master-index-2003.pdf And if it doesn't appear on that web page, then go to this web page: http://meteoriticalsociety.org/bulletin/prov-names.html If it doesn't appear here, then it hasn't been assigned a number below NWA 1691. If it was assigned a number that is higher than NWA 1691, then it is probably still waiting to be included in the next update of this web page. Questions regarding unclassified NWAs should be directed to the person that requested the NWA number. The "prov-names" web page (only) lists the people that requested the NWA number. No "classifier" will automatically submit classifications to the NomComm without first contacting the person that submitted the NWA specimen (usually the person that requested the NWA number). ***Typically, the person that requested the NWA number from the NomCom, will be the same person that reports the classification to the NomComm. *** The NomComm will contact the "classifier", not so much to confirm the classification, but to confirm HOW MUCH type specimen was secured. I'm convinced that this simple procedure is more widely understood than many of the people who feign misunderstanding the process would lead you to believe. Lord, I do hope so!
