Aydar 006 27°54.58833’N , 10°10.86167’W
South, Morocco
Find: 2019
Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H3)
History: Lahsen Oussalah found the 6 samples weighing a total of 1020 g 8.69km SW of Lebouirat, Morocco, in 2019. Jean Redelsperger purchase the samples from Mohamed El Guirah in Zagora in 2020.
Physical characteristics: Samples have wind-blown surfaces devoid of fusion crust, are brown in color, rounded-irregular in shape. A cut face shows the interior contains abundant well-formed, close-packed chondrules, FeNi metal and FeS.
Petrography: Classification and Description (A. Love, App) Sample shows chondritic texture composed of abundant chondrules an average apparent diameter of 390 µm (n=58). Additional minerals are: chromite, FeNi metal (8.6 vol%), troilite and apatite.
Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H3, C-S2, W2) Chondrule diameters, unequilibrated mineral compositions and metal abundance suggest sample is an H3 chondrite.
Specimens: Jean Redelsperger holds the main masses. An endcut weighing 20.90g and a polished mount are on deposit at App.

The Chergach meteorite is an H5 type meteorite that fell in Mali on July 2, 2007.
In autumn and winter 2007, about 100 kg of meteorites were collected in Erg Chech, north of Taoudenni. The nomads reported that the stones fell after a cloud of smoke was seen and several detonations were heard over a wide area during the day in July 2007. The discoverer of the first meteorites was Mr. Ouled Bleila, who died in a car accident on his way home from visiting the Chergach field in October 2007. According to Tuaregs from Algeria who visited the falls site in September 2007, the elliptical falls field stretches over 20 km in a northeasterly direction. No fireballs were reported.
The Bassikounou meteorite, is a meteorite of type H5, its fall was observed on October 16, 2006 near the locality of Bassikounou, in Mauritania, near the border with Mali.
Its ellipse of fall is 8 km long and its total known mass is 29.56 kg.

Al Haggounia 008 is an ordinary chondrite of 6.270 kg composed of 31 fragments.
This meteorite was found in December 2013, 120 km northeast of Laayoune in the Western Sahara, in a place called Chwichiya (little fez) in reference to the mountain seen in this area in the shape of a fez.
Chwichiya is an area rich in meteorites. The pieces on sale have not been cleaned by choice, they are sold as they were found. These are the last pieces on sale!
