Certified Ordinary Chondrite L6/7 S5 S3 Moroccan meteorite.

This meteorite BE1083 is so interesting. It has two distinct lithologies, one of them is L6, and other one is L7, highly crystallized. Really beautiful.

There are no visible chondrules, and only few relict chondrules.

There are patches of melted material with glassy mesostasis and thick melt veins crosscutting the rock and with metal content about 10% volume.

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.
