Oriented Meteorite Unclassified Chondrite - 632 g

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

An oriented chondrite meteorite specimen with well-defined orientation, weighing 632 grams, found in the 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 markings reflecting its high-velocity entry into the atmosphere. These surface textures add a distinctive and aesthetic character to the piece, evidencing 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 find context.
