I certainly put in a few weeks with no finds.

Perhaps a finder of one of the recovered pieces should step up, and cut a piece for science?
I think they need more than 6 grams for the noncom rules do they not?
Didn't several California hunters find pieces? I guess this will just be another no-name fall.

Actually, it's still the "Novato" (provisional) meteorite.
It still is not in the Meteoritical Bulletin.

This is the slice that Brien Cook originally cut with the intention of submitting it to UCLA. But when he read that someone else was going to supply the type-specimen, he then placed it on eBay.

It would be nice if some Institute or consortium would make an offer and try to repatriate this slice and make it a type-specimen so that this US-fall could finally be made "official". All I'm saying is, this "leaving an official-status hanging-in-mid-air" would never happen in Canada. They would just simply buy the type-specimen.

It's time for the US to catch-up with Canada.  It's time for a change.

Hi list,
We have finished researching Novato meteorite and we do not
need it anymore. 6.6 g  slice was bought on ebay auction on
27th of October 2012 from hunter Brien Cook.
Anyone interested in this rare piece make me an offer off list.
Best regards,
Matija Bericic
