NWA 16774 is a pallasite-type meteorite discovered in Algeria in 2024, weighing just 4.5 kg.
Pallasites are unique stony-iron meteorites composed mainly of olivine and ferrous metal.
They are thought to have formed in the boundary region between the core and mantle of asteroids, inside asteroids.
Pallasites are meteorites composed of olivine crystals embedded in an iron-nickel matrix.
Pallasites are among the most aesthetically pleasing of meteorites.

Oued El Kechbi is a chondrite L4 meteorite that fell in Morocco near the town of Akhfennir on March 3, 2023.
On March 3, 2023 at 14:00 GMT, nomadic sheep herders named Derija Bent Yahya, Abo bakr Aabidha, Brika weld Himdah and Elkhadir observed a fireball moving with a SE to NW trajectory falling in the desert region ~45km southwest of Akhfennir, Morocco.
When the meteor entered the atmosphere, the fireball was a yellowish-white color, accompanied by a sonic boom that scattered the rancher’s herd.
The meteorites discovered lie in a valley that contains desert cobbles separated by an abundance of small seasonal ponds.
The first samples were found in the mud, where the surface was wet with recent snow.
As the seasonal ponds dried, more samples were found.
The Moroccan Association of Meteorite Hunters recovered 20 samples with a total weight of 1942g. Further other discoveries have been made, bringing the total known weight to ~4764g. Coordinates and weight of discoveries indicate that the distribution ellipse is 4.3 km long, and confirm the SE to NW trajectory.
43 stones weighing 1036g were sold to Jean Redelsperger.

Gyarub Zangbo is a pallasite-type meteorite discovered in Tibet in 2020, weighing just 18 kg.
The mineral chemistry, the O and Cr isotopes of olivine and the metallic phase make this an anomalous carbonaceous pallasite.
Gyarub Zangbo appears to be a unique pallasite from a previously unrepresented asteroid in the pallasite collection.

NWA 16738 is a CK3 carbonaceous meteorite.
To date, only 88 of these have been classified.
The reference fall is the Karoonda meteorite that fell in 1930 in Australia.
CK meteorites have inclusions called CAI’s, (calcium and aluminum rich mineral inclusions), formed 4,567 to 4,571 million years ago, they are the oldest materials in the Solar System.
