Nevada Meteorite Picture of the Day
(for the Month of March 2010)

Explanation:

The main thing to note about this find is that other chondrites have been found nearby at this locality. ("Click" on the above image to see the meteorite that Moni was taking a picure of, before it was "plucked" from the lake bed. Can you spot the chondrite?)

There have been other H-chondrites found at this locality and all of them appear to be paired to each other and to an earlier classified H5 find. But other chondrites have been found at this locality.

It has taken us over 6 years to find all of these chondrites, so suffice to say, more information will be forthcoming at a later time, and at that time this Nev Met POD will be revised.

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.
