The Rockhaven "fall" appears to be a Buzzard Coulee. Although some
intrusive tests were not performed on one of the available stones, by
appearance and Blaine Reeds X-Ray(?) the stone is apparently
indistinguishable from a Buzzard Coulee. So is, as Mike Farmer
indicated, a "scam", until proven otherwise.
Montney (BC, Canada) has a tentative H6? classification. The owner
has, to my knowledge, kept the entire stone and any small fragments and
nothing has been officially archived in an institution. This also is the
case of some newer Canadian finds (mostly irons). The finder has kept
the meteorite and nothing has been officially set aside into a research
institution for research etc. One older iron find (1972) from Quebec,
has been classified, and is held in a museum in Montreal, but nothing
on this meteorite has officially been submitted to the MetBul for
publication. I myself have a small bit off a Canadian H4/5? chondrite
(found 1996) meteorite from Saskatchewan, which has yet, to my
knowledge, to be officially submitted for publication.
