FWIW

This one has been published since June and includes a K Falls comparison in
the write-up

Geochemistry: (snip)These data suggest a designation of Group IIIF, an
uncommon type (with <10 individuals known), although Ga is high compared to
other IIIF irons by ~30%, probably owing to analytical error. This is the
same group designation as for Klamath Falls, which was found ~78 km to the
northwest, raising the possibility that both could have been in the same
strewn field. However, the two meteorites are probably not paired, as
Klamath Falls has a smaller kamacite bandwidth (0.5 mm), and concentrations
for Ir, Pt, and Re that are ~0.002x, ~0.12x, and ~2.8x the values in the new
iron.

Greetings,

This sounds like another specimen of the Klamath Falls Meteorite.
Probably traded by the local Indians of that area. Same Classification.
