DAR AL GANI 340
Stone. Olivine-pigeonite achondrite. Ureilite (AURE)
Sahara Desert
Found 1997

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
Stone. Lunar anorthositic breccia
Found March 1998
Dar al Gani, Libya

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
Stone. Martian basalt, shergottite (SNC)
Sahara, Africa
Found 1998

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.

DJOUMINE
Stone. Chondrite. (H5-6)
Banzart, Tunisia
Fell October 31, 1999

At 7pm on 31 October 1999 a bright fireball was seen traveling from SW to NE, accompanied by multiple detonations.   Two meteorites were recovered by children near the village of Djoumine, Banzart, Tunisia.  At least five other pieces were recovered at a later time within a 4-km long strewn field, with the total mass being ~10 kg.   Djoumine is classified as a H5-6 Chondrite with a shock stage of S3.
  This is a beautiful looking large stone 3,180 grams of Djoumine meteorite.  The meteorite was shortly pick-up after the fall.  This killer specimen is the "Main Mass." It has around 98% black fresh fusion crust.  Note all the flight marks on the specimen.  Most of the stones were sold intact, so very little of this meteorite has ever been distributed to the meteorite market.  This is one of my best personal collection pieces.
