||
| A single 591 g stone was found in the Libyan Sahara Desert. It was subsequently classified by C. A. Goodrich at the Max Planck Institut fur Chemie as a relatively unshocked ureilite. It has the typical texture of ureilites, with large silicate grains containing minor metal and troilite, and rimmed by graphite. Terrestrial weathering products are also evident. Cosmogenic nuclides infer a unique exposure age of 9.3 million years. | |||

LUNAR METEORITE DAR AL GANI 400 |
||||||
| In 1998, a meteorite hunter found a 1.425 kg, fusion crusted, lunar meteorite on the Dar al Gani plateau in the Libyan Sahara - the largest lunar meteorite yet found. Dar al Gani 400 was classified at the Max Planck Institut fur Chemie in Germany as a lunar anorthositic breccia. This lunaite is clast-rich, containing mostly glassy, anorthositic impact-melt breccias related to the ferroan anorthosites, with a minor content of Mg-suite highland rocks, as well as rare VLT mare basalt fragments. The predominant ferroan anorthosite component suggests that a likely origin is the far side of the Moon. | ||||||||

MARTIAN METEORITE DAR AL GANI 476 |
|
| At least 40,000 years ago, following a one million year journey from Mars, a 2,015 g loaf-shaped meteorite fell into what is now the Sahara Desert. Terrestrial weathering over the intervening time period has eradicated most of the fusion crust, and filled cracks and veins with carbonate and other weathering products. This Martian basaltic shergottite is paired with at least four other separate masses - DaG 489, DaG 670, DaG 735, and DaG 876. This is a distinct type of shergottite, intermediate between the basaltic and lherzolitic subgroups, containing magnesian olivines embedded in a groundmass of pigeonite and plagioclase glass. Shock features such as olivine mosaicism, pyroxene twinning, plagioclase glass, and melt pockets, which correspond to a shock stage of at least S5, suggest a possible impact melt origin for DaG 476. | ||

| While searching the area where the DaG 476 Martian basaltic shergottite was found, an Italian meteorite hunter recovered this 1,619 g paired mass. In addition, the masses of DaG 489, DaG 735, and DaG 876, are similarly paired with DaG 476. Terrestrial weathering over the intervening time period has eradicated most of the fusion crust, and filled cracks and veins with carbonate and other weathering products. This is a distinct type of shergottite, intermediate between the basaltic and lherzolitic subgroups, containing magnesian olivines embedded in a groundmass of pigeonite and plagioclase glass. Shock features such as olivine mosaicism, pyroxene twinning, plagioclase glass, and melt pockets, which correspond to a shock stage of at least S5, suggest a possible impact melt origin for these paired masses. | ||

DHOFAR 125 ALL SPECIMENS HAVE DIAMOND LAP FINISH |
| A black fusion-crusted stone weighing 2,697 g was found in the Dhofar region of Oman; it was classified as a rare acapulcoite - the largest one found to date. A separate 354 g mass, named Dhofar 312, which was found nearby, may be paired. Dhofar 125 has a recrystallized texture with an average grain size much smaller than that of other acapulcoites. It is unshocked (S1) and exhibits only minor weathering. Acapulcoites and lodranites formed on a common parent body and share similar thermal histories. | |

WITNESSED FALL DJOUMINE |
||
| Around 7:00 in the evening, a bright fireball was seen and heard as it approached from the southwest over Tunisia. Shortly thereafter, two stones were found by some children near the village of Djoumine. Additional fragments were eventually recovered along the 4 km long strewn field, bringing the total known weight to about 10 kg. Djoumine has been shocked to stage S3, which is manifest in prominent shock veins. In addition, it has a cosmic-ray exposure age of about 8.6 million years, similar to that of other H chondrites. It can be inferred that a major impact occurred on the H chondrite parent body at that time. "Special sale price" | |||
