Hello again, Donald.

Here is another ex-California meteorite:

Death Valley (H) Inyo Co. 36deg 21'; 116deg 49' (1956)

Brian Mason reported this meteorite [without
reference] in "Meteorites" (p. 229). Dr. Carleton
Moore, ASU Center for Meteorite Studies, discredited
this find. He established that "Death Valley" was
actually a piece of the Plainview (1917) meteorite.


I also sent you some information about Toluca.

Regards,
Bob Verish
