Strange Green Meteorites Discovered in Morocco may be from Mercury, Say Scientists

Our Nomads who we meet in 2017 contacted us when they found these unusual meteorites that they had never seen before.

They stated it was easy to find them in the desert as they were different colour to the weathered stones in the Sahara.

Scientists only recently July 2023 started to investigate these meteorites.

 

Scientists are examining a collection of 35 meteorites that landed in Morocco last year. They suggest that a green space rock, called NWA 7325, from the group likely came from Mercury and not from an asteroid or Mars. The space rock could be the first visitor from Mercury, according to meteorite scientist Anthony Irving.

 

"It might be a sample from Mercury, or it might be a sample from a body smaller than Mercury but [which] is like Mercury," Irving said, adding that a large impact could have shot NWA 7325 out of Mercury to Earth.

 

According to him, the green space rock does not resemble anything that has been found before on Earth. He also ruled out the possibility that the rock could be from Mars or from an asteroid. Space rocks from Mars and asteroids have distinct chemical characteristics that were not found in the green meteorite.

NWA 7325 has a lower magnetic intensity and data collected from NASA's Messenger spacecraft, which is orbiting Mercury, suggests that the planet's low magnetism resembles that found in NWA 7325, Irvin said.

Moreover, data sent by Messenger also showed that Mercury has low iron content. The meteorite found in Morocco is low in iron, which further confirms the hypothesis that the rock is from Mercury.

Our Nomads who we meet in 2017 contacted us when they found these meteorites and named  them Green meteorites.

They stated it was easy to find them in the desert as they were different colour to the weathered stones in the Sahara.

This Metiorite is unusal and light colour non magnetic

We cannot be 100% certain that is it from the planet Mercury as still early days for scientists to investigate.

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.
