Wow, they stick out like a sore thumb don't they? I wish meteorites were
that easy to spot here in Georgia!

Hi List,

 

I would like to post a couple of pictures of new Nevada and California
meteorite finds. The picture of the meteorite on the dry lake bed is 38
grams. The picture of the larger meteorite weighs 1.282 grams. On the second
trip I recovered numerous fragments within a three foot radius of the larger
find . All of the fragments were found with a metal detector ,and additional
222 grams. Both of them appear to be stone chondrites but are different..
The smaller meteorite shows metal/iron and chondrules. The larger meteorite
shows metal/iron and chondrules but has a brecchiated matrix and numerous
chondrules are of various colors and sizes. Geoff was nice enough to provide
me with this great link.
