I bought this as part of a collection. The collection card says NWA 2935, mesosiderite, found 2004 Algeria.

The MetBul disagrees. It says LL6/7, purchased in Erfoud, Morocco, in 2005.

Sure wish I knew!

Love the contract with the etch and patina.

Definitely not an LL6/7. It does closely resemble some of the NWA 2932 pictures in the MetBul but there are a bunch that look quite different.

The MetBul also says 2932 is paired with NWA 2923, a diogenite!

The collection card is from "MD Meteorites" but I can't find anything about that seller.

Both the exterior and the interior at a glance has the look of an obvious MESO. LL6/7 ? ... I don't see it.

Looks like a mesosiderite, and resembles NWA 2932. Typo maybe?

Not an LL - there's no troilite and far too much metal.
