I think most of the players in the meteorite community understand the general naming procedure. But when rocks like NWA 801 and Begaa come along, and enjoy widespread distribution to collectors while remaining officially unrecognized for a disproportionally long period of time, (while many more recent rocks with equal or lesser importance DO get recognition), it just can't help but engender a little curiosity. I took Jeff's own answer on the list, that he'd look into it (Begaa) tomorrow, to mean that some wrinkle other than the usual naming backlog might be involved, or that there was a piece of the puzzle missing. If Begaa was just an oversight on someone's part or some other simple explanation, so be it - it was just an innocent question and surely has a logical answer. > ... it's simple... ...[snip].......I'm convinced that this simple procedure > is more > widely understood than many of the people who feign > misunderstanding the process would lead you to > believe. Lord, I do hope so! I know the procedure.....my question was, what prevented said procedure from being followed? Still interested in hearing the Begaa answer, either from Bob or Jeff or anyone else who might be able to shed some light.
