Achondrite, ung TKW 1200 grams. Fall not observed. Purchased December 2020 from a dealer in Tindouf, Algeria. Ziyao writes:Ungrouped igneous achondrite with L chondrite affinities. This specimen lacks recognizable relict chondrules, but has an anomalous relatively coarse-grained igneous texture. The igneous texture and presence of brown olivine may be indicative of high shock.
