[meteorite-list] Question about oriented meteorites

[Comcast Mail]

Well,

The Orientated form should only be used in the word "Orientation ".I dont
think Orientated is even a word. Even though a few on the list use that form

Oriented is the proper way to describe a meteorite that had a stablized
flight path.

Just my 2 cents
