[meteorite-list] Meteorites that are never classified

[Chris Spratt]

The Rockhaven "fall" appears to be a Buzzard Coulee. Although some 
intrusive tests  were not performed on one of the available stones, by 
appearance and Blaine Reeds X-Ray(?) the stone is apparently 
indistinguishable from a Buzzard Coulee. So is,  as Mike Farmer 
indicated, a "scam", until proven otherwise.

Montney (BC, Canada)  has a tentative H6?  classification. The owner 
has, to my knowledge, kept the entire stone and any small fragments and 
nothing has been officially archived in an institution. This also is the 
case of some newer Canadian finds (mostly irons). The finder has kept 
the meteorite and nothing has been officially set aside into a research 
institution for research etc. One older iron find (1972) from Quebec, 
has been classified, and is held in a museum in Montreal,   but nothing 
on this meteorite has officially been submitted to the MetBul for 
publication. I myself have a small bit off a Canadian H4/5?  chondrite 
(found 1996) meteorite from Saskatchewan, which has yet, to my 
knowledge, to be officially submitted for publication.
