Hello All,
there are two meteorites close to Sacramento, Bruceville (L6) and Shingle
Springs (Ataxite).
Both are named after the town they were found in or close by.
Both towns are about one hour to one and a half hour away from Sacramento.
Haven't been to either place where they were

Despite my location in southern California, there is a fall even closer

does anyone knows a fine and free online atlas, where one could mark points

but since a while this feature

The Guffey iron was found just a mile or so east of me (or a few miles west,
depending on how you read the report). And I do live in Guffey. Still
looking for the other few hundred kilos of it that must be around here.
Also fairly nearby are the Cotopaxi, Ellicott, and Elbert meteorites.

My small slice of the Dhofar 979 ureilite is easily attracted to a magnet.
It also shows what appear to me to be irregular, small patches of metal on
its surface that scintillate under the light. They are visible to the eye
as tiny flecks. If true I've never seen these before in a

Well, I am finally back home after six weeks of
travelling in asia. Done some great diving and got to
play with sharks more than I have ever done before.
Its slow going but I finally have my ebay auctions up
and running again. Well over a thousand auctions and
have many kilos of meteorites listed.
Maybe another interesting angle for this discussion is to find the
meteorite that fell closest to you personally, not to the place where you
now live; i.e., how close did you ever come to being hit?
For me, it's Wethersfield (1971), which fell in Connecticut, 120 km from my
home in New York
Great Jeff, mine is Portales Valley, 550 miles (880 km) from me.
Others like the Casas Grande were closer but no recovery.

On further investigation, I'd have to revise my nearest hit to the
Stratford fall. Since it fell on Memorial Day (May 27) in 1974, I was
probably back home in New York from college before going off to my summer
job in Maine. So it fell 60 km from me. This is the hard part of figuring
out
