Aydar 009 27°56’09.27"N, 10°13’52.99"W South, Morocco Purchased: 2021 Classification: Ordinary chondrite (L5/6) History: Found by Mouloud Oudinat and later bought by Jean Redelsperger from Mohamed Elguirah in 2021. Physical characteristics: Dark brown irregular stones. Petrography: Brecciated shock darkened chondrite. Opaque minerals are metal and troilite, mostly weathered, and preserved only as µm-sized eutectic blebs. The petrographic type is difficult to assess with certainty because of the pervasive silicate shock darkening. Classification: Ordinary chondrite (L5/6). Shock darkened.
