Hello Everyone. As some of you are aware, I have been working with Laurence
Garvie and the Nom Comm to get the Niger impact melt classified. After some
fits and starts and help from other dealers and collectors, the great news
is that the name is now approved (but still pending publication) as
Tchifaddine. 

Notice that this approved name is not a DCA (dense collection area) number
but an actual location name. So forget Tassedet 004 (provisional name) and
start using Tchifaddine, an H-melt breccia!

After publication, Tchifaddine will be only the seventh H-melt breccias, and
certainly one of the most striking.
