†: provisional meteorite name, pending approval by the Meteorite Nomenclature Committee. A meteorite preliminarily called "Bore Z" was removed from this list: it was found at the right position of the fall line, and looked reasonably fresh, but a closer analysis in the lab revealed that it has been on the Earth's surface for much longer, and therefore is not linked to the fireball that we observed.
