Explanation:

This find was made on 2011 November 26th by team member Ron Basta. This 6.6 gram Ordinary Chondrite has not been classified yet. The locality name and an earlier classification has already been submitted to the NomCom and the locality name has already been approved.

Obviously, there is much more that needs to be written about this locality in the future.
