 hello list
the stone that meteoritica web (michel)show is a nice real amgala. he bought from ismaili and i coudn't buy it
because it was expensive for me.it's was at 4000$.1 kilos.
for the name calling amgala oum draga , or djeibra , its the same state , wich i call in my earlier post smara
this fall in real is , state of smara wich is a state of 300 kilometres.
when this was recovred it was done in abaout 30 kilometre area.between amgala and djbeira and oum draga.
in the frontier between morroco and mauritanie and algeria. its post of soldiers.
i do not think that any morrocan dealer can confuse amgala with zag.why?
morrocan dealer are professionel and know the diffrence also because zag is much weathred now.
and where is any more zag in morroco now.
so if you confuse zag with amgala , its like if you confuse a ferrari with a jeep 4 wheel drive.
anyway if you can confuse zag and amgala show me how close this can be by photo.


all the best

Sujet: [meteorite-list] Main mass of Oum Dreyga (Amgala) recovered ! 

Dear List Members,
 
Our team has recovered from a soldier from Western Sahara an amazing oriented stone with
flow lines (99% crusted) weighing a little bit more of one kilo. This stone seems to be the
main mass of this fall.
Michèle Bourot-Denise, from the MNHN of Paris) is actually analysing a sample of this fall
but it appears clearly that this is an ordinary H chondrite.

Some dealers are using as provisional name for this fall « Amgala », but the strewnfield is
closer to Oum Dreyga? Amgala is 250km far away.

You can see this piece of Oum Dreyga in my website www.meteoritica.com

Best Wishes
Philippe Thomas
