Hello all,

I think that California is still in the US (sometimes I wonder) so thought
that Bruceville should be included in this thread too.
Bruceville, an L6 found in Sacramento County in 1998 became California's
largest stoney meteorite when it was discovered. It's an 83 kilo individual
found while digging an irrigation ditch in the Sacramento delta. Needless to
say, it's highly weathered( W4).

Regards,
Frank
