Kheneg Ljouad is a 10 kg meteorite that fell in Morocco and has been classified as an LL5/6 type chondrite.
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.
The Muonionalusta meteorite is a fine octahedral meteorite, type IVA, which crashed in northern Scandinavia, west of the Swedish-Finnish border, around one million years BC.
Once polished and cleaned with acid, the rock reveals Widmanstätten figures.

The Sikhote-Alin meteorite is an iron meteorite that fell in Siberia in 1947. This fall is unique in the history of meteorites, given the 70 tonnes that survived the journey through the Earth’s atmospher
Chwichiya 002 is an ordinary carbonaceous chondrite of type C3.00 ungrouped, it is the most primitive type that has ever been found in this date, it has not undergone any hydrated phase and no heating before its expulsion from the parent body.
This meteorite is perhaps one of the most important meteorites of all times, no doubt that the knowledge of our solar system will advance thanks to it.
It was discovered in the Western Sahara. A must for a collection!

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.
