Exactly. I think past falls have shown us that there is no point trying to
push one name over another. Amgala... ooops I mean Oum Dreyga is a perfect
example of that and dare I mention West... ooops... sorry... Ash Creek! ;-)
Anyhow, I thought it was generally the first person submitting the
classification/meteorite who got the rights (within reason).
Cheers,
Jeff

Greetings,
It will be called what the Nomenclature Committee decides to name it as
naming has always been done in the past. Dr. Jeff Grossman made mention
the name Livingston would probably not be used due to conflict with other
named specimens.
Best!

Hello Listers,
I think the name of the meteorite should be Livingston because wasnt that
the first place a meteorite was found and the media has been talking
about that town. Plus it seems like that was ground zero the first couple
of days when everyone rushed into WI.

I see everybody starting to call this fall "Livingston"... but this is
not likely to be accepted as the name since there are already meteorites
named Livingston (Montana) and Livingston (Tennessee).

You all know that we gotta call it the Livingston strewn field. In fact
we should start a new nameing process where all meteorites that are from
a strewn field should have a large S after it. Regardless of the name of
the rock.
