I just wanted everybody on the list to know that the Nomenclature
Committee has approved the name of the recent fall near West,
Texas. It will have the official name Ash Creek. See this and 38
other recent approvals at:

Jeff,
Does the Nomenclature Committed assign official synonyms such as West as
well?

Urban legends are already growing: When struck by the meteorite, the
creek became as ash.

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

No, just be sure to let people know that it is from the big-ash fall.

Chris,
If I write a scientific paper, I will call it Ash Creek. For
commercial
purposes, if it isn't illegal, I will keep calling it West.
After all, that is the purpose of having synonyms is so that you can
call
things by other names, right

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.
name: (Ash Creek) and...
Location of find/fall: (West, Texas).
I believe that does it. ;^)
