Nevada Meteorite Picture of the Day
(for the Month of February 2011)

Name of Nevada Meteorite: provisionally named, but still pending approval.

Explanation:

This meteorite fragment is probably paired to a previously provisionally-named find that was classified as an H6 chondrite. Since this meteorite is still pending formal approval of its provisional name, there is not much that I can say about this particular find from October 2009.

(-- Note: Due to photographic failure, there are no surviving "in-situ" images for this find.)
