Hi Adam and all,

It was suggested that it be named in honor of some famous pioneer in the field of
meteoritics or some closely related.

I would like to see Harvey Nininger's name associated with it if at all possible. He
has the honor though, of having a meteoritic mineral named after him Niningerite so
perhaps something like Harveyite might create less confusion for this new class of
meteorite belonging to the HED group. On the other hand HEDH might also be confusing.
Perhaps those more witty than I can figure something.
