Los Angeles (meteorite)
The Los Angeles Meteorite is a martian meteorite fallen in California's Mohave Desert. It was found around 1980 by Bob Verish and consists of two stones of 452.6 grams (15.96 oz) and 245.4 grams (8.66 oz). Vernish stored the meteorites in his rock collection before examining the find again on October 30, 1999 when he recognized it as a meteorite. He removed small samples for analysis by Alan Rubin at UCLA. By January 12, analysis confirmed the meteorite to be of Martian origin, similar to QUE 94201 found in the Antarctic in 1994.
