Dear List,

our auctions on ebay offering two of the specimens found at Noktat Addagmar/Morocco have triggered a number of replies we would like to share. We have learned that approx. 3 kgs of meteorites from the area are circulating since at least December 2005. This makes the reported fall date June 30, 2006 obsolete. The meteorite is an ordinary chondrite and our first impression and that of our Polish colleagues is that the material represents a LL4 lithology.

The controversial intelligence on this material in mind we renew our request for additional information. We still haven't decided yet on a submission but will definetively do so, when we succeed to obtain sound information on the circumstances of the discovery. We will gladly provide high resolution images to those requesting.

For those interested, the auctions will close in a couple of hours:

188 gm Noktat Addagmar:

Furthermore we take to liberty to include the link to a breathtaking unclassified 1.3 kg chondrite that was discovered by a shepherd near a seddlement named Imlili 10Km from El Argoub which is 90Km from Dakhla/Morocco on April 25, 2005.

Thanks for your support and your interest.
