Hi List,

I just received news of a meteorite that I found in Nevada. Preliminary 
classification findings determined it to be a new Rumuruti type 3 
chondrite with two types of sulfide,low metal and brecciated. Final 
probing results to be posted later.The total weight less than 70 
grams.i will post some better pictures in a few days.This should turn 
out to be the first R chondrite found in the USA, and 68th worldwide.
