Oriented Meteorite Unclassified chondrite - 632 g

Type: Oriented chondrite meteorite
Weight: 632 g
Place of find: Western Sahara
Date of find: November 2019

A specimen of an oriented chondrite 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 discovery.

The sample exhibits a clearly oriented shape, with visible regmaglypts that reflect its high-velocity atmospheric entry. These surface textures give 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 light signs of superficial oxidation, typical of exposure to desert conditions, without significantly affecting the overall integrity of the specimen.

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