The NEXT "Picture of the Day" will be POSTPONED until next month. I apologize for any inconvenience. But, in the meanwhile, I will continue to accept any images or photos of any Nevada meteorites for submission to "Nevada Meteorite Picture of the Day". Your contributions are always appreciated.
2004 July 31
Explanation:
The above image appeared on the 31 July '04 Major News about Minor Objects web page.
Click on the above image & see the Asteroid/Comet Connection's daily news journal in which this meteorite image is depicted.
This small find was originally shown on the 30 April 2004 web page of this NvMetPOD site. !
Classification is still pending for this find - a Stony - Ordinary Chondrite
This depiction is a good example of an "in-situ image" - an image of a newly found meteorite, still in-place on the surface in which it was found!
Also, this image shows that weathered chondritic stones can be found in a variety of conditions and shades of color.
Meteorite-recovery efforts are still on-going at this locality. All new finds will be classified and cataloged, and will appear here in a future NvMetPOD!
A 1 centimeter cube-scale can be seen to the left of the stony in this image.
(Scale: cube is 1cubic cm)
