I also have some others available off ebay for $1 per gram less then the ebay
listings (due to high ebay final value fees) I am asking $4 per gram off ebay,
$5 from ebay.

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:

Hiya Bill,
Actually this is amoxenyte, golfyx's cousin. He's corresponded with me
about fulgurites. (Early North American hominids used them as game pieces.)
They're both entertaining and funny fellows. A bit schizophrenic perhaps.
Amoxenyte is an artist/sculptor and I think he's branching
Jeff,
Does the Nomenclature Committed assign official synonyms such as West as
well?
As they say, it is hard to get the toothpaste back in the tube once it is
out.

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!

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

Anyway, dear
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

The other problem is that there is an Arizona meteorite classified as Little

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

So, does this make West and Ash Creek Officially Paired?

I really don't like that name, Ash creek is over 20 miles long, and the
meteorite fell in one tiny little section of that creek. The creek runs North
to South, the meteorite fell East to West. If you google Ash Creek Texas, you
get hundreds of hits. It fell in both Hill and Mclennan counties.
Perhaps Ash Creek will cost less per gram than West... ;-)

Hi,
I would suggest that the best way for a dealer
to advertise by name would be to start off with:
West, Texas (ASH CREEK), Witnessed Fall, etc...
and migrate with time and familiarity to:
ASH CREEK (West, Texas), Witnessed Fall, etc...
Very useful invention, the parenthesis; It's
I think this is a very simple and rational idea that will help avoid
confusion and conflicts down the road.
Best,

I agree.
It's exactly what was done with Oum Dreyga (Amgala). Or should I say Amgala
(Oum Dreyga)? You know what I mean! ;-)

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.
Jerry,
It's good to hear from a resident of west Texas.
I appreciate your point of view. And your place of residence.
Having grown accustomed to the unofficial name,
I believe I can adjust with no serious side effects.
