05797 - Fully Complete NWA L-H Type Unclassified Ordinary Chondrite Meteorite 4.5g Psammechinus History: It is quite clear

History: It is quite clear that meteorite collectors in Northwest Africa have discovered a large L chondrite strewn field at an undisclosed location

from a location that has provided very few specimens

probably due to being exposed on the surface for a long time in a climate as aggressive as Western Sahara

from the wonderful Ordovician shales of the Fezouata Formation

It has small glued but not restored fracture

05797 - Fully Complete NWA L-H Type Unclassified Ordinary Chondrite Meteorite 4.5g Psammechinus History: It is quite clearThese meteorites were found in the Saharan Desert in Northwest Africa, likely by nomads. In order to classify them it would be necessary to cut off a section for analysis. Although they are exceedingly rare when compared to terrestrial rocks, these are the most abundant type of meteorite and are referred to as common chondrites. H and L (designating the amount of metal contained) type chondrites have been already extensively studied. Composed largely
