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 discovered, one is a farmer's property and maybe this next June Michael Santos will do a field trip to Shingle Springs.
The rock hounds/meteorite hunters are hoping! :-)
Still hoping for a meteorite to land in my backyard or fall through my roof though! :-)

Hello everyone,
Since the List is very quiet tonight......................
I was chatting with an ex-List member earlier today about the newest Colorado
meteorite, probably an eucrite. And I noticed that the meteorite that fell
(was found) closest to where I am from is also an eucrite: Bouvante.
Do you know which meteorite came closest to your backyard?
