Great pictures, Aid!
That is a rocky terrain I've never experienced.
 
Questions: "Burned sand"? I'd like to see some pictures of that, if possible, or a detailed verbal description.
Any pictures of impact pits/craters before they were disturbed?
 
Also, is this the same fall that was described earlier as mostly in snow-covered mountains?
Is it permanent snow at high altitudes, or thaws in Spring?
Is there an update for the size of the fall area?
 
Best,
Pete

> I have been to the place the new meteorite fell and I was lucky to find some pieces myself, you can find pieces from TOURJDALE to OUED AACHIR, the big piece I can say 20 kg, it was fragments and the nomads were there first and pick it up, each one has a piece, and I estimated a 20kg largest piece. you can find small holes in the trajectory of the fall, in the big one we find the sand burned and mixed with the very small fragments.

> I don't lie or pretend milligrams or hundereds of kilos, more than 50 per cent of this meteorites are small fragments without crust or have some. I learned on this list more than 500kg were found, and tents kilos were offered for sale, and I'm asking for photos of even 500g.
