| A single 591 g stone was found in the Libyan Sahara Desert. It was subsequently classified by C. A. Goodrich at the Max Planck Institut fur Chemie as a relatively unshocked ureilite. It has the typical texture of ureilites, with large silicate grains containing minor metal and troilite, and rimmed by graphite. Terrestrial weathering products are also evident. Cosmogenic nuclides infer a unique exposure age of 9.3 million years. | |||

LUNAR METEORITE DAR AL GANI 400 |
||||||
| In 1998, a meteorite hunter found a 1.425 kg, fusion crusted, lunar meteorite on the Dar al Gani plateau in the Libyan Sahara - the largest lunar meteorite yet found. Dar al Gani 400 was classified at the Max Planck Institut fur Chemie in Germany as a lunar anorthositic breccia. This lunaite is clast-rich, containing mostly glassy, anorthositic impact-melt breccias related to the ferroan anorthosites, with a minor content of Mg-suite highland rocks, as well as rare VLT mare basalt fragments. The predominant ferroan anorthosite component suggests that a likely origin is the far side of the Moon. | ||||||||

MARTIAN METEORITE DAR AL GANI 476 |
|
| At least 40,000 years ago, following a one million year journey from Mars, a 2,015 g loaf-shaped meteorite fell into what is now the Sahara Desert. Terrestrial weathering over the intervening time period has eradicated most of the fusion crust, and filled cracks and veins with carbonate and other weathering products. This Martian basaltic shergottite is paired with at least four other separate masses - DaG 489, DaG 670, DaG 735, and DaG 876. This is a distinct type of shergottite, intermediate between the basaltic and lherzolitic subgroups, containing magnesian olivines embedded in a groundmass of pigeonite and plagioclase glass. Shock features such as olivine mosaicism, pyroxene twinning, plagioclase glass, and melt pockets, which correspond to a shock stage of at least S5, suggest a possible impact melt origin for DaG 476. | ||
