Hi Rob H., No, the Nomenclature Committee is part of the Meteoritical Society. If you make a meteorite find, you are encouraged to request a provisional name/number from the NomComm. There are specific instructions for doing so on the Meteoritical Society's website:
http://meteoriticalsociety.org/simple_template.cfm?code=pub_bulletin Templates for submission are found here: http://meteoriticalsociety.org/simple_template.cfm?code=pub_bulletinsubm it For meteorites that have not been analyzed by a recognized institution, you'll want to use the 'Provisional name submission template', a link for which appears toward the bottom of the page above. --Rob -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rob Holcomb Sent: Friday, August 20, 2010 11:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Rocks from Space Picture of the Day - August20,2010 Great find Bob! I've been out in that area south of Trona and have had good luck. But I'm a newbie at this and want to ask 2 questions: Is the Nomenclature Committee part of IMCA? And if I find something how do I report it? Thanks for your help Rob ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
