Greetings

I am very pleased to announce that Bob and Moni Verish have found the first 
meteorite from the Battle Mountain meteorite fall, which occurred on 22 
August 2012! They have located a 19.25g meteorite that appears to be an H 
chondrite at first examination. According to the Meteoritical Society 
database, this makes Bob and Moni the first to ever recover an observed fall 
in the state of Nevada!  We offer our hearty congratulations for this 
history-making find!
Details of the meteorite fall, to include radar imagery, seismometry and 
other data, a calculated strewn field estimate, and other information can be 
found on the Galactic Analytics LLC website:

We would like to maintain a table of all the Battle Mountain (BaM) 
meteorites, much the same as Petrus Jenniskens did for the Sutter's Mill 
fall. This will improve the value of the meteorites to both scientists and 
collectors by preserving the individual histories of the meteorites. We will 
provide a copy of this list to everyone who locates a meteorite and adds 
their meteorite to it, and when the list has matured we will release it to 
the public. If you find a meteorite, please let us know about it! We are not 
asking for samples of any meteorite, just information about individual 
meteorites - the date of find, the mass, lat/long coordinates, and the name 
of the finder. Your meteorite(s) will be issued a unique BaM number, much as 
the Sutter's Mill meteorites were given SM numbers.

Congratulations again to Bob and Moni for finding the newest meteorite on 
Earth (that we know about, anyways)!

Cheers,
Marc Fries
