Tieret 001 30°44’53.5’’N, 10°12’36.6’’E Tieret, Tunisia Found: 22 February 2009 Classification: Ordinary chondrite (H6) History: Tieret 001 is one of seven meteorities found in a new dense collection area. From 21 to 26 February, 2009, seven meteorites (ordinary chondrites) ranging in mass between 10.6 and 602 g, and totaling 703.2 g, were recovered during a Tunisian-Italian meteorite search campaign in southern Tunisia (Tieret 001-007). Members of the Tunisian party were N. Ouazaa, S. Kassaa and M. Ghanmi (Tunis); members of the Italian party were N. Perchiazzi (UPisa), A. Zeoli and L. Folco (MNA-SI) and P. Rochette (CEREGE). The seven meteorites were found on the rocky desert plateaus (regs) of the Tieret region, which mostly consist of upper Cretaceous sedimentary rock sequences (see also Laridhi Ouazaa et al. 2009). The Compagnie Générale de Géophysique--Veritas Services Tunisie (CGG-Veritas) provided logistic support. LF was supported by the EC through the ORIGINS project. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
