Comments:Approved 21 Feb 2021WriteupWriteup from MB 110: Hammadah al Hamra 346 (HaH 346) 29°36’29.3"N, 13°22’03.4"EGharyan, LibyaFind, possible fall: 2018Classification: Ordinary chondrite (L6)History: On 26 August 2018, a large fireball was widely seen and heard around the sparsely populated region of the southern area of the Jabal al Gharbi District of Libya. Hundreds of freshly fusion crusted stones, totaling over 100 kg, were found in early 2019, scattered over several kilometers, about 95 km southwest of Ash Shuwayrif by Mr. Belal. S. Omar Aliby (and other meteorite hunters) who visited the site. The fusion crust is fresh and matte black and lacks evidence of extensive wind abrasion. Given the complete lack of weathering of the stones, it is possible that they originated from the 2018 meteor seen in this region. In 2019, Mr. Marcin Cimala purchased 30 kg of the material from a meteorite dealer based in Mauretania. Stones of this possible fall are currently being traded under the name of Ghadamis.
