Hello,


just back yesterday from an hunting trip on the "Foum el Hisn" fall with the Meteor-Center team. Saddly no find by ourselves, even if many hours with maximum 45?C to 50?C searching on the area, as Pierre-Marie described you. This is definitively a small fall (as discussed with the few meteorite friends there, and Rabat peoples arrived to document the fall), many peoples searching the first day we arrived (just 48h after the fall), and close to no-one the day we left, discouraged by their lack of finds...

Anyway after a great time to hunt on a witnessed fall of an achondrite, I just decided to put on ebay fragments of the only stone I purchased. Specimens (strating 0.01$ - NO RESERVE) are still low regarding the prices practiced by the finders on the strewnfield, and probably later on the market (will see !) :
