Re: [meteorite-list] Name of Texas Fall: Ash Creek
Steve has a point there, is the new name cross correlated in some way with 'West' in the actual database? (It just came up as Ash Creek when I searched). - Just worries me it's a great way to loose a few thousand specimens of a fall, if in the future you can't cross correlate the label names! I also wonder if there was any way a name could be officially assigned at the time of a fall rather than several months after it's recovered? Out of interest, is the name that's given the nearest place/town to the first recovery, or to the majority location of the finds? How's it decided?

Re: [meteorite-list] Name of Texas Fall: Ash Creek
As they say, it is hard to get the toothpaste back in the tube once it is out. Well, seriously, who let it out? In my personal understanding the NomCom of the Meteoritical Society will not necessarily care for any specific reasoning of the early finders/dealers/traders. They have to stick to and obey their own rules, and then, of course, allow some qualified discussion in between the board members, if there are different opinions, but only to come to an agreeable conclusion in the end...

Re: [meteorite-list] Name of Texas Fall: Ash Creek
One problem with naming a meteorite too soon is that we end up with meteorites like Norton County, Kansas. One problem with naming a meteorite too late is that we end up with meteorites like Ash Creek. I assume that Ash Creek runs in both McLennan County and Hill County? From that aspect it is kind of appropriate. Steve Arnold Arkansas (synonyms: #1, the original, Brenham Steve, Birthday Boy #2, IMB) **Access 350+ FREE radio stations anytime from anywhere on the web.

Re: [meteorite-list] Name of Texas Fall: Ash Creek
Hi Dr. Jeff and List, I, for one, am tickled that the WEST, Texas fall has been officially named anything but WEST. Years ago I became aware of the methods and criteria used by the Nomenclature Committee for naming any new fall or find. So it was obvious that the name WEST was premature. The first email I received about someone actually finding a piece of the fall (may have been Sonny- I don't remember) stated that it was found near WEST TEXAS. Well now, by gum, that name takes in a huge geographical area. Having lived in Odessa for many years, I have always heard our area termed WEST TEXAS. And it is...WEST TEXAS. I have always, arbitrarily, thought of the western part of Texas as starting around Abilene or thereabouts. A lot of folks for many years have declared that Ft. Worth is Where the west begins. Who am I to argue. West Texas officially ends just west of El Paso. It has to in that New Mexico starts there. So using Ft. Worth as a starting point (going west) and ending the trip in El Paso, we have now covered about 603 miles and are still a skosh away from the New Mexico border. If we start the trip from Abilene we'll be covering over 455 miles. I believe Darren might declare that distance to be at least an OODLE of miles, may even stretch into the next unit of measurement. I won't even go into what constitutes the southern and northern boundaries of what is considered WEST TEXAS, but there are some impressive distances there too. Most everyone who lives in the great state of Texas think of the western part of Texas when they hear the term WEST TEXAS. And that's a big place. So now you can possibly understand that every time I heard the name WEST TEXAS (and frequently written without the distinction and clarification of even a comma between the words) applied to the fall I was immediately disconcerted, discombobulated, confused, and bewildered. Contrary to popular opinion that is really not my normal state of mind. HAIL to the new meteorite ASH CREEK. Welcome aboard into the multitudinous family of existing Texas meteorites, the ones that had the good sense to aim for our great state. They knew they would be properly appreciated and cared for here. Watch for my new book The Care and Feeding of Texas Meteorites, scheduled to be on the bookstore bookshelves any time now. It would be greatly appreciated if any of you foreigners (anyone who doesn't live in Texas) who are in possession of any of our fine Texas meteorites please send them home.
