This is a single stone, broken in half upon impact. This stone is very fresh, 3-6 years old, and a possible H-4.
I'm former Marine; grew up in Bullhead city. AZ. I have finally achieved a lifestyle that allows me to hunt 6 months a year. I work in Canada in summer and hunt all winter. This last year I located over 30 lbs of mostly seperate [meteorites]. I am an open-desert cross country researcher. I will be offering expeditions this coming year. I can also provide security for more unstable regions, such as (Indian Butte).

After checking the MetBull Database, I am even more doubtful that this is a coincidence:
"Ivanpah Dry Lake
California, United States
Find: 1 Jan 2014
Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H4)
History: This stone was found by J. Franske while he was hunting for meteorites on a dry lake bed.
Physical characteristics: This rounded, 1128 g stone was found in two pieces about 40 feet apart. Both halves are covered in fresh, black fusion crust. It would appear the stone broke in half upon impact."

Looks remarkably similar in morphology to my much smaller Ivanpah Dry Lake find. I doubt it is a coincidence. |
