This specimen is a 7 gram slice that measures 51mm x 26mm x 2.6mm This slice is classified as an Achondrite, unbrecciated Eucrite HED. This meteorite was acquired in Morocco in 2016, and was not a witnessed fall. Acquired from Aerolite Meteorites, holder of the main mass. Included in the photos are both faces of the slice, plus a closer look at an unusual inclusion in the meteorite. Also, the thin shock crack is visible in this slice. Intact fusion crust is seen on all four sides of the slice.
