No, the DCAs will simply require coordinates, like everywhere else. The proof
condition is dropped. The NWA 9000s will be skipped.
Believe it or not, nobody has submitted a request to reclassify Al Hag 001 or
its siblings. Has there been a paper published on it? All I'm finding are
Thank you Jeff,
For the clarity that a 'paper' hasn't been published about Al Haggounia and/or
NWA 2828 not being an Aubrite and 'simply' an Enstitite, albeit a very
interesting one!! I have CCed Tony Irvibg and Ted Bunch on this because they
have performed extensive research in this most
Hello All,
In a quick glance at comments tonight, but not reading the link to new rules, I
believe starting the new DCA mets with 'coordinates proof' to be confusing.
Why start the DCAs at NWA 10,000... when in short time the 'non-proof' mets
will reach the tried and true 'NWA' naming system
Hi Carl and List,
Thank you for this update on the change. However, what exactly does
this mean in practice?
For example, would a find with coordinates like Mreira now be
classified as a NWA 10xxx ?
Or will finds with firm reliable coordinates still be considered for a
place name and not a NWA
Also Mriera should be a fall. Jambon did the neuclides on it and clearly falls
in the timeframe i first suggested.
I can give that info to whomever wants it.

Mriera is being re-voted in light of the new data from Albert Jambon.

Hi Mike,
In a nutshell, the new rules allow geographic names for any Moroccan
meteorite with find coordinates. To simplify the naming in desert
areas, part of Morocco will have DCA grids. Under the new rules, any
meteorite without coordinates, originating in Morocco or surroundings

Excellent!!

Hi Y'all,
In a nutshell, from this point forward, DCA's will be created in the
form of grids.
From this point forward, new finds with coordinates will have DCA names.
That's what I get out of it!
Happy days everyone!

To amplify on Carl's response...
For the past 15 years, any meteorite from this region (except falls)
would get an NWA number unless there was compelling documentation of the
coordinates of the find. This might include a photo of the meteorite in
situ with an active GPS. But this was rarely
