Re: [meteorite-list] What's in a name
Appending my own comments, one only has to search as far as the name Canyon. The naming of Canyon Diablo certainly predates the later meteorite name Canyon (Met. Bull. #37, 1966). --Rob -Original Message- From: Rob Matson [mailto:mojave_meteori...@cox.net] Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2009 11:07 PM To: meteorh...@aol.com; meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: What's in a name Hi Steve, If it really is customary to avoid choosing proper names that are a subset of existing ones, how in the world did Clearwater West, Kelly West, Laundry West, Victoria West, West Hawk, West Point all avoid the custom of disqualification on the above merits? Ahh, but they are not subsets of one another -- they merely share parts of their names. Point would be a subset of West Point, or Hawk a subset of West Hawk. (There is no Hawk meteorite or Point meteorite). That said, I'm sure that if one digs through all the meteorite names, examples can be found that make your case, but if confusion can be avoided, why not do so? --Rob __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Hi, Guys! Thinking of nicely named places for a meteorite to fall? How about STONEY LONESOME (Indiana)? Good for a chondrite... Not to mention HOOKER (Oklahoma) and HAPPYLAND... My father was born in SHAKE RAG CORNERS (Illinois)? While you were in Arizona, why did you forget MONKEY'S EYEBROW? What are the chances of finding a lunaite in MOON (Kentucky)?
