Nevada Meteorite Picture of the Day
(for the Month of December 2009)

Explanation:

Over the past few years a number of small L-chondrite fragments (such as the one depicted in the above image) have been found on this dry lake.
At this same locality, there have been other (less weathered) whole H-chondrites previously recovered, as well.

It has taken us over 6 years to find all of these chondrites, so suffice to say, more information will be forthcoming at a later time, and at that time this Nev Met POD will be revised.

Being a recent find, there is very little additional information that can be shared at this time.
More information will be forthcoming in a future Nev Met POD.

For Reference:

If you have found a new Nevada meteorite and would like to report it 
and get a "provisional" name, or even easier, you have made a find 
from a known, formally named locality and would like to have a 
provisional number issued, 
you can contact the Editor of the Meteoritical Bulletin, Dr. Michael K. Weisberg
for more information.
