Hello,

I guess I will clarify a little.  If you really want to get technical.  A 
meteorite is not official until the Bulletin goes from provisional to 
official.  For our next batch that won't be until 4-5 months from now.  (Its 
usually Aug. or Sept.)

Now lets take the last meteorite me and Jerry have put the ringer,  Kansas 
State University.  I was e-mailed on February 3, by Rhrian Jones, who's job 
is the US part of the meteorites for the NomCom, that "The meteorite "Kansas 
State University" has been voted on and accepted."

So if you want we can add another term "accepted", but I think most of us 
would be willing to say it is official.  Or at least that it was no longer 
provisional.

Look over Bob Vernish's articles in Meteorite Times the last couple months.  
These were about US meteorites that will be, and likely in his article, some 
that didnt make it into the bulletin.

Clear Skies,
Mark
