Sonny Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hi All, This should turn out to be Nevada's largest chondrite to be recovered. It was found over a small area. The picture was taken on my driveway of the recovered pieces. The situ pictures will be shown after classification. http://nevadameteorites.com/recent_fids_page_2.htm Sonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regmaglitch Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hi Sonny, That's is one heck of an amazing find! How many fragments or individuals compose the 120 pounds? Thanks for the look at your new meteorite, and thanks especially for the big dose of MOTIVATION. I'll be hunting new ground tomorrow morning!
