[meteorite-list] What's in a name? Name your meteorite for fame?

[ted brattstrom]

Aloha - 

That should be Ka'a'awa :-)

And as someone who lives in Volcano :-) ... I keep
looking at dark colored rocks on the ground - but
there are just too many!!!! 

there are lapili from Kilauea, and Pele's tears - but
realistically, almost everything  on the ground is WAY
younger than most (make that all) meteorites.

- A lot of the Honolulu  meteorites landed in the
water, some were collected on the decks of ships. I
don't think there was any systematic mapping, but you
might check with the crew at UH Manoa.

cheers -
