27.55 grams.   L4

TKW 5.45 kg. Possibly an observed fall according to the MetBul:

On November 6, 2021, at around 1 pm Saharawi people residing in the refugee camp of Dakhla (about 200 km south of Tindouf, Algeria) heard a strong sonic boom confirmed by many people in the neighboring countries of Mauritania and Western Sahara. A few days later, many meteorite fragments with fresh fusion crust have been recovered by meteorite hunters in northern Mauritania close to the Algerian border (Tindouf province).

John - I had to learn to say the full name for my video on the 'fall'. Here is a link to learn more and hear it pronounced to the best of my ability. All - Any ideas about the purple inclusion at 8 o'clock and in the small picture?

cool L4 material Topher...not sure about purple blob? I never thought I'd might prefer NWA #'s to the new location/coordinate trend names with these longer "quite a mouthful" identities. Some, I just don't/won't be able to remember the long version...now the EHOH-002 abbreviation might stick after some time. I do love the way the names sound when spoken, and what they stand for is often interesting. No offense intended folks...just (my)comments on naming.
