Vaca Muerta, in Spanish “Dead Cow” is a meteorite of mesosiderite type which was discovered in Chile in 1861.
This meteorite would have arrived on Earth about 2000 years ago.
The parent body of mesosiderites could be the asteroid Psyche, it is over 200 km in diameter.
It is a classic in any good collection.

Djoua 001 is an Aubrite meteorite discovered in Algeria in 2021.
I this date only 72 meteorites of this type have been classified.
It is a rare type of meteorite difficult to find on the market.
The name Aubrites is linked to the fall of a meteorite in France at Aubres in 1836. They are composed mainly of orthopyroxene to enstatite.
A new theory by a French scientific team raises the possibility of a link between Aubrites and the planet Mercury.

Amgala is a rare meteorite from Mars, classified as Shergottite (olivine-phyric).
It was discovered in the Western Sahara in 2022
A meteorite offering exceptional value for money !
Amgala 001 26.014°N, 11.020°W
Saguia el Hamra, Western Sahara
Purchased: 2022 Dec
Classification: Martian meteorite (Shergottite)
History: Multiple stones were found together in December 2022 near Meharrize. Said Muftah Bachir and Ziyao Wang bought 12 kg together from the finders, including the largest 5200 g individual; Mark Lyon acquired 19165 g from two different dealers; Aziz Habibi obtained 3500 g from another dealer.
Physical characteristics: Weathered exterior surfaces of the stones are brown with a distinctive knobby appearance. Fresh interiors are greenish-gray with darker olivine phenocrysts visible.
Petrography: (A. Irving, UWS, and P. Carpenter, WUSL) Zoned olivine phenocrysts (up to 2 mm in length) are set in a groundmass with variable grainsize composed predominantly of prismatic, zoned clinopyroxene and lath-like maskelynite, together with accessory alkali feldspar, pyrrhotite, ulvöspinel, chromite (with variable Ti content), ilmenite, baddeleyite and chlorapatite. Thin opaque shock veins crosscut the specimen as well as secondary calcite veinlets. Olivine phenocrysts contain small patches of alteration products (red-brown in thin section).
Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa31.7-56.6, FeO/MnO = 52-55, N = 5), pigeonite (Fs27.7-48.4Wo10.4-9.8, FeO/MnO = 29-35, N = 3), subcalcic augite (Fs20.7-30.4Wo32.5-34.6, FeO/MnO = 28-32, N = 2), maskelynite (An47.4-50.5Or2.2-1.7, N = 2), alkali feldspar (Ab49.4Or34.0An16.7).
Classification: Shergottite (olivine-phyric).
Specimens: 68.3 g including one polished thin section at UWB; remainder with Mr. S. Bachir/WangZ (12 kg), Mr. M. Lyon (19165 g) and Mr. A. Habibi (3500 g).
