The total weight of the fragments reaches 418 grams.\nThe fragments are black, fragile, and irregular, with surfaces speckled with white grains up to 1 mm in size. Some samples show traces of fusion crust. When broken, they reveal a dark interior with finely dispersed iron sulfide grains.\nA type specimen weighing 22.7 grams is stored at CEREGE, the European Center for Research and Education in Environmental Geosciences in France. Other fragments are held at Arizona State University (5g), University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture (6g), and the University of New Mexico, Institute of Meteoritics (4g). Material is also with private collectors, including Jean Redelsperger, Luc Labenne, Mark Lyon, Ziyao Wang, and Jeremy Bassemon.\nThe Oued Chebeika 002 meteorite is highly valuable for scientific research due to its primitive nature and composition, considered to be the closest to the original solar nebula. Its analysis offers valuable insights into early solar system conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027639406917,"sku":"MEOC02","price":173.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/40583-1_photoroom-008-20250323-141915.jpg?v=1779377492","url":"https:\/\/moldavite.it\/en\/products\/meteorite-oued-chebeika-002-001g-morocco-meoc02","provider":"Moldavite.it","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
