2 pieces totalling 3300 grams.   LL5

TKW 3.3 kg. Possible fall. From the MetBul:

Three Algerian shepherds (Lamin, Mohammed and Abdel Hamid) were tending their sheep on January 8, 2022, when they heard a loud sonic boom at 8 pm and saw a fireball travel across the sky. After several days of searching they found two stones with fresh black crust near Ouidane es Sbot. One month later all of the material was acquired by Ziyao Wang from a dealer in Benghazi, Libya.
