Hello Dan, Mauro, and List

Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding or
mis-translation, the Santa Rosa meteorite is not
synonymous with the Coahuila meteorite. The w o r d
"Santa Rosa" has been used (wrongly, most likely) for
the Coahuila meteorite, so the Catalogue has to show
it as a "Synonym" (Santa Rosa v. Coahuila).

Darn English language; just two letters can change the
 whole meaning of a seance.
