"Rocky meteorites comprise a wide variety of types, with ordinary chondrites being the most abundant,
carbonaceous chondrites, and achondrites. They are primarily composed of silicates such as olivine and pyroxene, but
their fundamental characteristic is that they have spherules (chondrules) inside. These spheres are primordial materials
of our solar system; they are the oldest and most fascinating materials we can see and hold in our hands.
* This ordinary chondrite meteorite is believed to have fallen larger than present-day Algeria and Morocco. Its fall was exceptionally strong. Since its discovery in 2000, more than 7 tons have been removed, weighing a fraction of an ounce to over 50 pounds.
It is classified as an ordinary chondrite. Shiny iron flecks on the cut surface are visible, causing a mild magnetic attraction.
Se clasifica como una condrita ordinaria. Las manchas brillantes de hierro sobre la superficie del corte son visibles, cosa que causa una leve atracción magnética.
Muchas de estas muestras se recogen por nómadas. Dado que las Característicasgeográficas y las fronteras políticas no son fácilmente discernibles en esta sección del Sahara, su ubicación exacta no está disponible.
