The Lost Creek Meteorite was classified by Dr. Alan Rubin at UCLA.
It was described in the Met. Bulletin # 86 of 2002 as a H 3.8 chondrite (S2 W3). Lost Creek is one of a few unelilibrated H chondrites
that have been recovered in the United States. Currently the main mass is owned by a private collector in the Kansas Meteorite Society,
