• DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Agoudal – Iron meteorite from Morocco The Agoudal meteorite was first identified in 2000, when two small iron fragments were found in the Agoudal region of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco. These fragments were initially sold to tourists without their true nature being known. It was only in September 2011, when a dealer from Errachidia purchased one, that it was confirmed to be an iron meteorite. In 2012, a systematic search of the area was carried out, during which meteorite hunters discovered a large number of fragments, most of which were small. The largest fragment, weighing 60 kg, was buried about 50 cm below the surface. Agoudal is an iron meteorite classified as IIAB, with a total known mass of over 100 kg. Hundreds of small fragments weighing between 1 and 100g have been found, as well as several larger pieces from 100–1000g or over 1 kg. Most of these fragments have an irregular shape and generally measure between 2 and 5 cm. The Agoudal meteorite contains approximately 5.5% nickel and 4.1 mg/g cobalt. It also includes traces of gallium, iridium, and gold.
