Hello Don, It is well about the same fall. The names of Tamdaght and Tichka were both used. The name which will be officially kept is that of Tamdakht, village the closest to the point of fall. The spelling Tamdaght and Tamdakht both exist, but the name writes Tamdakht is closer of the pronunciation of the Arabic name (to pronounce Tam Dart).
Best wishes, Philippe www.meteoritica.com Hi List. Excuse my ignorance here as maybe I been hanging in the dark Caves in Pakistan too long and may have missed some of the emails here on this New Fall. My question: Is the Tamdaght Meteorite the same as the Tichka Meteorite? I am assuming they are from the same Fall but maybe from different found locations and that Tichka was a provisional name and now Tamdaght is now the "real" name? Bit confused here. Can anyone set me straight on this? Thank you Sincerely Don Merchant ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
