Explanation:
The above images were sent in by Jeff Pringle, an avid meteorite collector and hunter from the San Francisco Bay Area. Jeff had an earlier find appear here on this web site a few years ago. But, he also has to his credit a California meteorite that appeared in Meteoritical Bulletin #96 as, "Paymaster".
Congratulations, Jeff, on finding another neat chondrite.
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.
