NWA 7811 is a fresh meteorite classified eucrite polymict breccia of only 95 grams.
It was discovered in 2011 and classified by Anthony Irving in 2012.
The eucrites come from the Asteroid Vesta.
Petrography: (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS) Fresh fragmental breccia composed mainly of crystal debris from several different basaltic eucrite and gabbroic eucrite protoliths (with some polymineralic clasts of same), plus sparse clasts of diogenite and diogenitic orthopyroxene. Minerals include exsolved pigeonite, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, calcic plagioclase, silica polymorph, ilmenite, troilite, chromite, and fayalite.

NWA 7831 was discovered in March 2013.
This meteorite is a very beautiful and rare diogenite of the same type as Tataouine.
About 20 kilograms of this meteorite were found in the Western Sahara about 100 km northeast of Laâyoune in a place called Chwichiya.
Awsserd is a rare chondrite rumuruti type R4.
There are only 53 meteorites of this type in the world today !
This meteorite was bought by Marc Henry during a trip in the Western Sahara.
This fresh rumuruti of 924 grams was found less than 5 km from the small village of Awsserd. An exceptional meteorite!

The meteorite NWA 7034 is an exceptional meteorite.
This meteorite is not alone because other stones of the same type have been found in the fall zone.
It is a Martian meteorite, certainly the rarest and most scientifically interesting meteorite ever found. It was discovered by meteorite hunters in the Western Sahara.
It is the oldest rock from Mars ever discovered and contains more water than any other known Martian meteorite. Its texture is brecciated, it is composed of an agglomerate of rocks of which each rock tells us a fascinating story.
