Explanation:
Since this image was taken, there have been many more stones such as this one found at this locality. We are very keen on determining the extent of this strewn field. Not much more can be conclusively stated about this and the other finds, at least, not until more specimens can be classified.
"Click" on the above image to see a hand-held view of the meteorite, after it was "picked-up" (-- note that its shadow is still next to the in-situ position.)
It has taken us over 3 additional years to find the other stones from this chondritic fall, 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.
