Just two days later, meteorite hunter Larry Atkins recovered another fusion-crusted individual more than three miles away, confirming a previously unknown strewn field. Continued searching ultimately resulted in the recovery of only 17 stones, with the largest weighing 1,225 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe meteorite was later studied and classified by Dr. Alan Rubin of UCLA, receiving official recognition in the Meteoritical Bulletin as an L6 Ordinary Chondrite.
