This is a nice whole stone of 432.42 grams. It is covered in a beautiful dark fusion crust. Possible shattercone tendencies on photo 3?
The first individual was found in Gao, Mali, 2013, by a nomad while he was searching for historical artifacts near the former salt mines of Taoudenni, northern Mali.
A total of 85 kg has been recovered so far from a strewn field about 10 km in diameter.
Petrography: The meteorite is an H type breccia consisting of completely recrystallized type 6 and less intensely recrystallized type 5 fragments. The latter contain delineated chondrules. The meteorite is strongly shocked (S4). |
