[meteorite-list] New Iron-Nichel posphide official name

[Göran Axelsson]

What is the big news?

Merrillite (Ca3(PO4)2) is found in several meteorites. From martian 
meteorites () to pallasites (Springwater). Another meteorites containing 
merrillite are Portales Valley, Forest Vale, Ankober, Allegan, Allegan, 
Estacado, and several more.

And among the acapulcoites are Dhofar 1222.

It doesn't seem to be such a rare phosphate to me.
