Safsaf (L6, brecciated, S3, W3, Fa 25.9, Fs 20.9, tkw 11.85 kg) was found close to the moroccan/algerian border in autumn 1998 and classified and published in MB 83, just before the NWA numbering started. The largest fragment shows some atmospheric flight orientation and a stick out "nose-like" edge. In cut pieces some few large chondrules up to 8 mm were found. On the fragment side of the 4.68 kg wind blown fragment is a chondrule hole of 9.5 mm in diameter.
