Thank you Bernd and John. Yes, found by Alain and Louis Carion during one of their many trips to Egypt. In addition to Libyan Glass they also found some huge fulgurites. (2004 is a long time ago John! Time to come back now.)

Thank you Anne for sharing. The finder being Alain Carion is special. I say this for those who don't know who he is. Alain is a legend to those who know some of his background. His book, with your help Anne, on Meteorites and related information is one of my favorites. I met Alain at the 2002 Springfield show when he signed my first copy of the book. I also bought a small slice of his baby, Tafassasset !! Anne, you signed the same book in 2004 at Tucson. :)
