For those collectors with an interest in North American meteorites,
I would like to bring your attention to an eBay offering (ending soon)?of a classified find from the California Mojave Desert:
San Bernardino Wash (L5)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221353605398?


This under-appreciated meteorite promises to become better-known now that
additional field-work and research results are starting to appear on the Internet:

https://www.google.com/#q=San+Bernardino+Wash+L5+meteorite+strewn-field?

Although the study of this area is too early to determine the possible TKW of this meteorite,
it certainly will not rival Gold Basin (L4/6), but it promises to be the next "Trilby Wash".
The specimens that I am offering are the remaining slices from the samples used to determine pairing.
These two classifications confirmed their?pairing to the SBW(L5) type-specimen held at UCLA.
I will only be offering additional specimens for auction?until the cost of this lab-work has been defrayed.
But, as usual, I will continue to accept requests for samples?by any interested?researchers.

Thank you for your interest,
Bob V.
