Hello Habibi, hello List,

Maybe these howardite can be paired with NWA 982 which
also displays a darker gray color than NWA 1109.

Looking at picture #5: Could that be part of El Hammami?
But we all know how hard it is to tell from pictures.

Something to dream about. Looks like the 27.3-kg Mbale main

shape. Mbale is an L6 - for some meteoriticists an L5-6.


Best regards,
