In my book "Meteorites Gone Awry" by world famous author "Whosagonna Believeme", the meteorite Pinto Mountains, L6, California, was found in 1854 by gold seeker Pinto Jones while digging for Pinto beans near high noon in the rugged Pinto Mountains. This 17.92 kg meteorite was shaped like a large bean with a brown crust. It is well know that upon digging up the meteorite Mr. Pinto Jones exclaimed "Hot dang, I gotta me a big bean!"
So as you can see, the Meteoritical Highsociety had no choice but to name the meteorite "Pinto Mountains".
I hope this helps in your search for misinformation on this fabulous meteorite.
