Yes, I was asked to enter this synonym, "Tata," into the MetBull
database a year ago, but the person who requested it wasn't sure which
specimens the name referred to other than 1430. It never went past
there. What do you all think? Is Tata exclusively used for NWA 1430,
or are there other meteorites that go by this synonym?
In any case, this previous usage does make it less likely that the name
would be accepted for the new Martian.

Hi,
I was certainly not so presumptuous to name this, and I thought the term
"provisional," would be most apt---as it is most certainly would be provisional
in the true sense of the word.
As I previously indicated, as others referred to this as Tata, in an effort to
avoid a bit of confusion....
....here we are!

I am very sorry Darryl, but.......
There is already a Tata, it is a Medium Octahedrite, group IIIAB, 113kilos,
found in 2001.
Yes, of course, it does have a number, it is NWA 1430, but just like Taza,
the name is much better known than the number.
Sorry!

Greetings!
Here is a peek at an offering of the new witnessed fall shergottite,
provisionally referred to by some in earlier posts on this list as Tata.
