08996 - Complete NWA Unclassified Ordinary Chondrite Meteorite 970 g Fish Fossils Under Study ArchelytronThese meteorites were found in the Saharan Desert in Northwest Africa, likely by nomads. In order to classify them it would be necessary to cut off a section for analysis. Although they are exceedingly rare when compared to terrestrial rocks, these are the most abundant type of meteorite and are referred to as common chondrites.
