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.

El Blida 006 is an oriented meteorite of 97 grams of type LL7. It was discovered near Zagora in Morocco in 2020 by Ahmed Najii.
It is a strongly crystallized brecciated meteorite with a beautiful fusion crust.
I sell the main mass of 74 grams, the rest was used for the classification, so it is a unique piece !

Morocco
Find: 2020
Classification: Ordinary chondrite (LL7)
History: Found by Ahmed Najii in 2020. Bought from Zaid Oualguirah in 2020 by Jean Redelsperger.
Physical characteristics: One oriented fully crusted stone.
Petrography: (J. Gattacceca, CEREGE) Highly recrystallized brecciated chondrite. Lithic clasts show triple junction, plagioclase to 200 µm, and only rare relict chondrules. Opaque minerals are metal and troilite.

Kheneg Ljouad est une météorite de 10 kg tombée au Maroc, elle a été classifiée chondrite de type LL5/6.
This is the only fall observed of this classification.
On Wednesday, July 12, 2017, at approximately 11:13 p.m. Moroccan summer time (GMT+1,) a bright fireball was widely seen throughout southern Morocco.
The fireball lasted several hours and was followed by a series of bangs heard throughout southern Morocco. This event was later reported by the national television channel). The site of the fall is in a militarized area of Morocco, but close to the border with Algeria. The military and nomads were the first to arrive at the site of the fall and the first piece was found within 12 hours of the fireball on July 13. A field mission was organized by H. Chennaoui Aoudjehane (FSAC), M. Aoudjehane, A. Bouferra and H. El Harbi on Saturday, July 15 to collect information on the fall and samples for classification and submission. The team obtained permission to enter the militarized zone and went to the fall site on July 16. The team encountered several hunters with fresh, black, fusion crusted stones.
