Plagiocale appears incidentally, the pyroxene grains in the matrix measure up to 100m microns.

The pyroxene in the chondrules is elongated and prismatic. Sulphates and oxides appear at the

Edges of the grains, residues of environmental alteration. There are also minor daubréelite, kamacite and sulphides. The analysed sample is petrographically similar to NWA 7401,

Meteorite Source

South East of Dakhla; located in the Western Sahara Desert, Morocco. Latitude and longitude coordinates for Dakhla are: 30°24'38.56"N, 9°33'20.59"W.

Meteorites were found in this area between Imlili, Aousserd and Tichla.

We visited Morocco in 2017 and visited areas where meteorites were found, but they were extremely difficult to find. In several hours we only found one small meteorite. Two images enclosed when we went fossicking for meteorites.
