Chergach                   23° 41’47’’N, 5° 00’53’W
SW El Mokhtar, Erg Chech, Timbuktu district, Mali
Fall: 2 or 3 July 2007, daytime
Ordinary chondrite (H5)
In fall and winter, 2007 ~100 kg of meteorites were collected in the Erg Chech, north of Taoudenni. Nomads reported the stones fell after a smoke cloud was seen and several detonations were heard over a wide area during daytime in July 2007. The finder of the first meteorites was Mr Ouled Bleila, who died in a car accident on his way back from the trip to the Chergach strewn field in October 2007. According to the Tuareg people from Algeria who visited the fall site in September 2007, the elliptical strewn field stretches for more than 20 km in a northeasterly direction. No fireball was reported.
