Hi List,

I just received news of a meteorite that I found in Nevada. Preliminary
classification findings determined it to be a new Rumuruti type 3
chondrite with two types of sulfide,low metal and brecciated. Final
probing results to be posted later.The total weight less than 70
grams.i will post some better pictures in a few days.This should turn
out to be the first R chondrite found in the USA, and 68th worldwide.
