Explanation:

Due to the backlog and delay in getting classifications, we must now show images of Nevada Meteorite finds that are still awaiting classification and still awaiting formal approval of their names. This web page will be revised when the classification and name are formally approved by the Nomenclature Committee of the Meteoritical Society.

For Reference:
This find will be included in the LIST of *Known* NEVADA METEORITES
