Hello,

I looked at the snow in Oukaimeden (where you can
skiing 70km SE of Marrakech). There's snow and cold
for a week.

I wonder how the freshly meteorites were found in such
a bad condition, in the mountains near Marrakech ?
And the size of the strewnfield (4,000 sq kilometers
????) is enormous and doubtful.

Also, stones are said to be weathered.

Are we sure it's a new fall and not saharian
meteorites sold as a new fall ?

Regards,
