Common chondrites, also known as ordinary chondrites, are the most abundant type of meteorite found on Earth. They are ancient stony objects that formed within the solar disc about 4.5 billion years ago and which are by far the most frequently discovered "space rocks." Many of these are found in large "strewnfields" in the North Western Sahara. While waiting for a full examination/description, they are referred to as unclassified NWA Meteorites (North West Africa Meteorites). 

Each meteorite comes stored in a display box featuring the specimen name, region it was found, age and a QR code linking to some information about common chondrites (fossil can be removed from the box).

This is genuine meteorite. All the specimens we offer come with a lifetime authenticity guarantee.
