<DIV></DIV>&gt;Speaking of Cat Mountain again, again...I forgot one more name for the new
<DIV></DIV>&gt;group.

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Perhaps just as a slightly "cleaner" version, might using
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; "HED-group peridotite" rather than "HED-clan peridotite" be
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; a bit better?
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; From my understanding you would say clan. Like eucrites are a clan, and within
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; eucrites you have several groups or different types of eucrites, such as
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Polymict Eucrite or Unbrecciated Eucrite. Given a few more finds (or more
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; study?), the different Peridotites would receive groups names. It should be
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; noted that nobody calls eucrites, "HED-group eucrites", so would not the name,
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; if decided upon, just be "Peridotite", or should the HED-group part be carried
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; to not confuse people with an earth peridot?
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Personally, I still like the thought of using historical names for clans, and
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; then the more scientific words added to define the groups. I do however see
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; logic in using names that are easy to recognize for the average geologist.
