[meteorite-list] Franconia Report- Question

[Thetoprok at aol.com]

Hello List,

I recently spent four days in the Franconia strewn  field. I didn't find very 
many but I had a great time camping and enjoying the  desert experience. I 
sacrificed the first day to hunting the extreme south  end of the field in 
search of something big. I knew there was a slim chance of  finding the mother load 
but hey, I had to try! I spent the second, third and  fourth day hunting in 
the area where the possible L chondrites have been found.  I recovered numerous 
H's and little irons last April and I wanted to add the L's  to my 
collection. I found three of them, one each day, talk about tough hunting!  I'm sure 
there is still a lot of material out there but it doesn't come easy.  The stones 
I found were rather small, 42.88 grams, 22 grams and 20.46g's. 
My  question is about this other material, the possible L chondrites. Does 
anyone  know if these are indeed L's? If so, how much of this stuff has been 
found out  there? Also, has any work been done to verify this is a different 
fall? I do  believe the irons are from the same fall as the H chondrites but I'm 
not sure  about this other stuff, they look a little fresher.
 
Any info is appreciated.

Thanks,
Larry Atkins
