When this meteorite first hit the market several years ago it was described as 'A
Collection in a slice' because of the great variety of inclusions that occur within
the matrix. This was no understatement and all of the material that the Hupe
brothers had was quickly sold. This is one of the original pieces from the find
sold and is a good sized piece showing many of the characteristics of the type.

All meteorites on this page come from North West Africa and are classified falls. All are
classified using a standardised system for naming the meteorites that originate from the
Sahara Desert. NWA denotes they are from North West Africa, while the number that
follows denotes the order in which they were found and classified. So, NWA 001 would
be the first meteorite that was classified from North West Africa. NWA 002, the second
and so on. Many thousands of meteorites have now been classified from the Sahara and
represent one the most popular areas of meteorite collecting as they are often very
affordable and every known meteorite type is represented.
Many of the specimens listed below are from the collections of the Hupe brothers, one of
the first teams to retrieve and classify meteorites from the Sahara Desert.
