Nevada Meteorite Picture of the Day

Explanation:
We jump ahead to December 1, 1999, in todays Photo of the Day!
So far, these Nevada Meteorite Picture of the Days have been in somewhat chronological order. But unfortunately. we do not have photos of the next three finds that were made in Nevada (at Bluewing Flat). These finds were made by Paul's father, Nick Gessler. They were found over the period of two days, November 6-7, 1999. Below are the pertinent data that we do have for these Nevada meteorites.

Bluewing 017 - Actually, this is the tenth meteorite find made at Bluewing Flat, Nevada
28.28 grams (fragment with no fusion crust and with chondrules protuding)
40º17.___' N, 118º56.___' W
Pershing County, Nevada, USA
Found 1999 November 06
Unclassified Ordinary Chondrite

The following is from The Meteoritical Bulletin, No. 86, (Table 3), 2002 September :

Bluewing 006 - Actually, this is the eleventh meteorite find made at Bluewing Flat, Nevada

Then there is a 3 week hiatus, after which Paul Gessler returns to Bluewing Flat to resume his recovery efforts. On that one day he finds 7 fragments. Five of these fragments are later paired to an earlier find of his (Bluewing 005). His first find of that day wasn't one of these "paired" fragments. Here is the info on this first find of the day:
