I have not seen any of this material first-hand but I was thinking the same thing when I saw Bob Verish's images. Perhaps it rained in Northern Nevada or many times fresh falls take on a brownish hue. If the miner's stone was found within a few hours of the fall, then I would think the stones have a natural brownish hue or it could be the white balance is off on the digital camera.

This one looks like a somewhat weathered NWA. Could be the lighting. But, Adam Hupe reported multiple finds so far so this could be legit. tett Mike Tettenborn Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada [email protected] On 2012-09-05, at 2:49 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Hi All, > > I have posted a few pictures of the strewnfield and a large chondrite on my > website.A couple of the roads in the area will be posted with No trespassing > signs later this week.
