Oriented Meteorite Unclassified chondrite - 632 g

Type: Oriented condritic meteorite
Weight: 632 g
Place of finding: Western Sahara
Date of finding: November 2019

Specimen of an oriented condritic meteorite 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 find.

The sample exhibits a clearly oriented shape, with visible regmaglypts that reflect its high-speed atmospheric entry. These surface textures lend the piece a distinctive and aesthetic character, evidencing its exposure to the ablation process during its passage through the atmosphere.

At the base, there are mild 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 form, visual presence, and find context.
