The Meteoritical Society has a listing of over 100 meteorites found from California. Too large a post to include individual names, sizes, and dates. Doing a search for California meteorites at their web page is the easiest way to proceed. Many meteorites have been found in recent years by searching for desert areas, where the glossy black or brown fusion crust of a meteorites is easily seen, even from the air, on white dried lake beds.

California has an area of 163707 square miles, so less than 1% of what the state should have in meteorites have been discovered to date.
