I would like to announce my first officially classified meteorite, NWA 5511 (provisional)
NWA 5511 was a single stone that weighed 387 grams and a slice was tested by Ted Bunch to be a LL5. It was then assigned the name/number NWA 5511.

Here is a picture of the meteorite before cutting:

and here is a picture of some of it after cutting:

I hope I announced this correctly, it is my first time doing this.

I would like to publicly thank Ted Bunch for taking the time to do this for me!
