[meteorite-list] ADVERT - NEW WITNESSED SHERGOTTITE FALL

[Jeff Grossman]

Falls (if this is one) do not get dense collection area numbers.  NomCom 
guideline 3.3a says, "In the event that a meteorite falls near the same 
locality as an existing named meteorite, the new fall should not be 
assigned... a numeric designation..."  It gets a unique name.
