Hello Leos and List,

The famous ZAG meteorite would be a potential candidate but it is a
recent fall.
Another meteorite that would approximately meet Leos' criteria is
LAHMADA:

Lahmada, H6, S3; W3
Western Sahara
27° 10' N / 009° 30' W
Find 1998

Many fragments of a chondrite totaling 7.36 kg were found in
the Lahmada region near the town of Zag. The three largest
pieces fit together forming a mass of 3.08 kg.

Best regards,

Bernd
