Falls (if this is one) do not get dense collection area numbers. NomCom guideline 3.3a says, "In the event that a meteorite falls near the same locality as an existing named meteorite, the new fall should not be assigned... a numeric designation..." It gets a unique name.

Hi Jeff and List,

Whatever the official name is, I hope it's an actual place name and
not another NWA xxxx number.  A fall of this magnitude deserves a
name.  :)

Best regards,
