Izarzar, H5

After hearing reports of a fireball in Morocco in late October of 2012, I kept an eye out for stones, but saw only a few fragments surface.  It looked to be an unusual porous H-chondrite, similar to Nuevo Mercurio.  Eventually, this cute little stone turned up.  I don’t have much information beyond the fact that the total known weight is probably ~a hundred grams or so.

Here’s the bulletin write-up:

Here’s a 4 gram ~oriented stone with impact scuffs and a little nick where it hit the ground.  This is the only ~complete stone I’ve seen.
