What's in a name? Zebrak is the officially recognized name for this meteorite. Once recognized as a meteorite by the Meteoritical Society, to prevent confusion the original unique name assigned to that meteorite is almost always retained as the preferred label for that meteorite in the meteoritical literature. There are, of course, numerous opportunities for confusion or debate in any region where borders, languages, and populations have changed. 'Praskolesy' and 'Horowitz' are but two of several names (synonyms) which have been applied to the 1824 meteoritic stone which fell in what is now the Czech Republic.
