History: Found by Ahmed Dich and Hssain Azmamar in January 2021. Bought by Jean Redelsperger from Zaid Oualguirah in February 2021.
Physical characteristics: Partially crusted stone with a light grey interior
Petrography: (J. Gattacceca, CEREGE) Brecciated igneous rock with mineral and lithic gabbroic clasts. Main minerals are pyroxene (some exsolved) and plagioclase with grain size in the 100 to 500 µm range. Accessory minerals: metal (to 150 µm), chromite (to 100 µm), ilmenite (to 150 µm), troilite (to 200 µm).

Aydar 006 27°54.58833’N , 10°10.86167’W
South, Morocco
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.
