Type: Oriented chondrite meteorite
Weight: 632 g
Find location: Western Sahara
Find date: November 2019

An oriented chondrite meteorite specimen with a well-defined orientation, weighing 632 grams, found in Western Sahara in November 2019 by a meteorite hunter during a search expedition. It is an isolated piece, being the only fragment recovered in the discovery.

The sample shows a clearly oriented shape, with visible regmaglypt marks reflecting its high-velocity atmospheric entry. These surface textures provide a distinctive and aesthetic character to the piece, evidencing its exposure to the ablation process during its passage through the atmosphere.

At the base there are light signs of superficial oxidation, typical of exposure to desert conditions, without significantly affecting the overall integrity of the specimen.

It is an attractive and representative piece, ideal for meteorite collectors and enthusiasts of extraterrestrial material due to its shape, visual presence, and context of discovery.
