Sidi Ali Ou Azza, L4

A bright bolide was seen over Eastern Morocco on July 28, 2015.  Hunters set out and  managed to find the first fresh meteorites about two weeks later.  A few dozen stones were recovered, with a total  weight of about 1 kilogram.

Per Hamza Albosdogui, of Guelmim:

There was a marriage 10 km from Akka and 30 km from Tissint.  The time of fall was between 17h and 18h on 28 July.  They are nomads who celebrate this marriage, I have met with this evening.

The Meteoritical Bulletin write-up can be seen here:

Screen Shot 2016-02-28 at 9.40.59 PMA close examination of several stones shows highly equilibrated and unequilibrated clasts.  The meteorite appears to be an L3-6 breccia.  The 109 gram stone mentioned in the write-up is pictured below.  Larger stone(s) may have been found, but I haven’t seen any.

Here are some photos of the 109.239 gram main mass and a 36.027 gram complete stone.  They’re both ~fully crusted, but two of the rougher crusted faces fit right together!  The larger stone came from Sahara Overland, and the smaller, from Hamza Albosdogui.
