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

Explanation:

This whole individual was found close-by to where the fragment that was depicted in last months Nev Met Picture of the Month (April 09). So, it is most likely paired to that fragment. Since this is a recent find and it hasn't been cut, yet, (let alone analyzed) it would be just sheer speculation to guess at this meteorites probable classification, other than to say that it is a 9.5 gram well-preserved, ordinary chondrite. At this same locality, several years earlier, there was an L-chondrite previously recovered.

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.
