Now here's something that I had on this year's "to do list" - make a list of Nevada meteorites. More and more I've been getting asked if there is a "source" for this kind of information. I have to admit that I can only find very limited information. I used to have a bookmark for the post by Rob Matson where he listed the cataloged NV meteorites, but since Art has changed servers that link is no longer working. Anyway, it's probably time for an update. And here it is: - LIST OF KNOWN* NEVEDA METEORITES - * = NOTES: (1) This is a list of Nevada meteorites that are "known" to me, Robert Verish, to the best of my knowledge. This list is in two parts - 1st part lists the known classified meteorites, and the 2nd part lists all of the known "reported" but unclassified meteorites. (2) All of the meteorites listed have been "reported" to the Meteoritical Society's Nomenclature Committee (NomCom). Some of the classified meteorites listed are still pending approval by the NomCom. In some cases the meteorite name has been made blank until their provisional name has been formally approved. This list will be updated as the "approval" status changes. (3) "MRF" = found by a meteorite-recovery team member during a group search. (4) Roach Dry Lake info courtesy of Rob Matson data compilation. (5) If you have any additions or corrections, please contact me. 1908 - Quinn Canyon 1930 - Las Vegas - J.P. King - (probably a transported Canyon Diablo) 1935 - "Boak's Meteorite" - L.J.

UNCLASSIFIED FINDS (WITHOUT NomCom "Provisional" names or numbers): There shouldn't be any meteorites listed here, but there will always be finders that won't report the recovery information for their finds. I personally know of 12 meteorites (from public lands) in which the finders have expressed no interest in having their finds recorded. But this has always been the case and will probably continue to happen. They will most likely go into private collections without being authenticated and, as in the case of the 1935 "Boak's Meteorite", be lost forever. NOTES: MRF = found by a meteorite-recovery team member during a group search.
