0.51 gram crusted part slice. 12 x 5 x 5 mm.   Angrite

TKW 213 grams. Fall not observed. Found June 2006, Morocco, Algeria.

From the MetBul:
Scattered fragments from a small stone which appears to have shattered upon landing recently were recovered from an area of ~40 m2 in the Morocco-Algeria border zone, 21 km SSW of Tamassint oasis and 18 km S of Agoult, Morocco. G. Hupé purchased all the recovered material in June 2006 in Tagounite, Morocco. He then traveled to Tamassint and was shown the location by the original find and measured GPS coordinates.
