I want to thank Robert Woolard for answering my question regarding the
only previously unknown meteorite actually field collected by Nininger.
It was Puente-Ladron, an L chondrite of 7.673 grams which Nininger
picked up near a bridge over the Puerco River, 10 miles from Ladron
Peak, in Socorro Co, New Mexico, on 17th May, 1944.  Nininger describes
the discovery on page 143 of Find a Falling Star.
Now if I could just find my copy, I could read about it:-)
Thanks again Robert!
Charlie
