But frankly I am surprised. I thought I would get responses along the line: "Yes, we know Tata, it is.....this....., and that.......etc.. (and how did you manage to miss it????)" but I didn't. So let me tell you what I know about it. First it is not TAZA, I have slices of Tata, and I have only seen small pieces of Taza. A mineral dealer I know has asked me to sell it for him because he handles minerals not meteorites. He also gave me a copy of the report he got from the moroccan mineral dealer. And that report does state: "one fragment, weight 118kg, found near the border Morocco-Algeria in 2001" and goes on with an analysis. So why am I asking about Tata? because this analysis was done by a lab specialized in analysis of MAN-MADE metals not meteorites. And I am not being racist, this lab is French!!!! So I was hoping that some of you knew more about Tata. Now if you would like to look at it, I put together a quick page with a couple pictures. Here is the URL: http://www.impactika.com/meteorites/tata.html And, please, do let me know what you think of it. Again thank you for all your answers.
