Hi Habibi and List,

Indeed! A great year for falls all over the world and Morocco. Have
any meteorites been recovered from Morocco falls in 2012 yet? Of
course, July 2011 was one of the best falls of recent memory, Tissint.
 But, this year California seems to have a target painted on it. :)

Of the falls with recovered meteorites this year :

Feb 11, 2012 - "Huangzhong/Xining" (unofficial) (L6 chondrite?) : China
Mar 01, 2012 - "Oslo" (unofficial) (ordinary chondrite?) : Norway (Hammer)
Apr 22, 2012 - Sutter's Mill (C - Carbonaceous) : California USA (Hammer)
May 03, 2012 - "Diplo" (unofficial) (ordinary chondrite?) : Pakistan
May 22, 2012 - "Katol" (unofficial) (achondrite) : India (Hammer)
Aug 22, 2012 - Battle Mountain (L6 chondrite) : Nevada USA
October 17, 2012 - "Novato" (unofficial) (chondrite?) : California USA

Best regards and happy huntings,

MikeG
