If you're looking for more information on California meteorites, or about meteorites in general, you should explore the meteoritical society database at the following link:

Unfortunately I can't directly link it (the site doesn't work like that), but if you search by location, type 'California' into the search bar, and choose to sort results by mass, you can get a complete list of all of the meteorites ever found in the state arranged by weight.
