Crusted Tarda Carbonaceous Chondrite C2 Ung. 2.89g

 Tarda is a witnessed fall that took place on Tuesday, August 5, 2020.  It happened around 2:30pm in Morocco near the village of Tarda.  A search was immediately undertaken by local residents and meteorite hunters between Goulmima and Errachidia. Hundreds of people began searching on the same day, and the first piece was found the following day by Alalou Youssef.  After that, many more people began searching for the new meteorite.  Thousands of small, mostly complete stones were collected ranging from only a few milligrams to 99 g. Many pieces were recovered by hunters using magnets. The strewn field is about 3 km long.  Adam Aaronson was the main mass holder at the time and may still be.  Dr. Carl Agee was one of the classifying scientists.  Tarda was classified as a carbonaceous chondrite C2 that is ungrouped.  

This piece has some crust on it.  Like all of my meteorites, it comes with a COA.  This piece also comes in a membrane case to keep it safe during travel.

The weight of this piece is 2.89 grams.
