Servus List,

I've a question concerning the Quinn Canyon-iron, the 1st meteorite of
Nevada, found 1908.
The Catalogue says, that "it is possibly part of the Nevada meteor of 1894
(February 1, 22:00hrs)".
Has anybody closer informations whether this could be true?

I recieved a little piece and I'm now thinking, whether it fits in my little
collection of strictly observed falls or whether I should make a Nevada
collector happy...

Here is a picture of the main mass:

Looks not so bad, with it's fine regmaglyptes, does it?

Thanks & Buckleboo of course!
Martin
