Hello, list.

It is my pleasure to report my first cold find. It is 20.1 grams and
oriented, with a few small flow lines in spots and a bit of roll-over
and secondary crust on the back side. It is being thin sectioned and
then off to be classified by Dr. Alan Rubin (thanks, Dru. Rubin!) at
UCLA. As a native to southern California I am very please to know the
type specimen will reside locally. I will be happy to share the exact
find location after I submit to the NomCom' it was found generally in
the Mojave here in so. Cal (not a dry lake) .

My classification guess is an H3.8 S0 W1.

Michael in so. Cal.
