[meteorite-list] Kem Kem

Hello Carl and All,

I think the real question here should be if all of the classified 
"NWA/KemKem" meteorites you mentioned (NWA 001, 052, 753 & 755) are even 
paired. I do not think any scientist would currently check these out 
personally and compare them, just being a chondrite and all. I think it was 
a good thing the NomComm realized quickly and early-on (late 90's) that 
things would get way out of hand without a "generic" Northwest Africa (NWA) 
designation to achieve some sort of order with the flood of different 
meteorites that were coming out of Northwest Africa (Morocco), and have 
since. Generic designations, of course, have been applied to Oman finds and 
other regions of the world.

Best regards,
Greg
