size : 2.6*2.4*1.3(cm) weight : 24g Note: Because the shape of meteorites is irregular, the size (length, width and height) is only a rough approximation. Please understand. Thanks!This small meteorite is from the NWA 869 strewn field, near Tindouf, Algeria. Currently classified as an L5 Common Chondrite, it shows brecciation and even carbon inclusions. This North West African common chondrite was obtained from a Berber collector who found it in the region around the Tindouf, to the South of Agadir. The exact location of the strewn field (discovered in 2000) has been kept a closely guarded secret by its finders! NWA 869 is a much-studied meteorite, classified variously as L3 to L6: some examples show brecciation and higher metal content than others. Your meteorite seems to be an L4/5 and shows some regmaglypting and primary fusion crust. It is very difficult to date meteoric finds accurately, but it is not heavily weathered and probably fell to Earth less than 10,000 years ago. Common chondrites consist of pieces of undifferentiated accreted material that formed within the solar nebula around 4.5 billion years ago; as such, they are among the oldest rocks in the Solar System. This meteorite was once a pile of weathered unclassified meteorite fragments brought to the 2000 Denver show by a Moroccan fossil dealer. worth, where purchased by Canadian meteorite dealer Dean Bessey, who was told the following on the meteorites: ”A nomad found an area with a lot of unusual strange stones near the Morocco/Algeria border. He brought one to a fossil dealer and asked: ”I hear that you will pay money for stones like this”. After shaking his head in disbelief at a positive response, the nomad gathered up all his camels, wives and children and brought them into the desert to search over his personal strewn field.” Or at least that is how the story goes.Many thousands of stones,were recovered, most of these fragments under 20 grams. Then 356 grams and a thin section of the meteorite was donated to the Vernadaky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, part of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, where it was classified by M. Ivanova. This meteorite, an ordinary stone chondrite, H4 class has a Shock Rating of 2 and a Weathering Grade of 2-3 and the classification information was published in Meteoritical Bulletin 85. One of the fun facts is that the NWA 267 was also the first meteorite ever minted onto a real legal tender coin. The National Bank of Liberia made 999 of these $10.00 Silver coins in 2004. The meteorite used in the coin, was supplied by Mark Bostick himself and his name and signature came on the certificate with the coin. The provided images of the coin shows a nomad on a camel on the obverse. A meteorite is falling through the star filled sky in the background. Reverse of coin has a seal of the Liberia Government and notes its value.
