This is a nice fragment of the Tatahouine meteorite. Tatahounie is classified as a stone, achondrite, Diogenite (ADIO) Ca-poor. This rare meteorite fell on June 27, 1931
at 0130 hours about 2 1/2 mi. NE of the village of Foum Tatahouine, Tunisia. This rare Diogenite broke into thousands of small fragments, most no larger than a gram. The large mass broke up near the earth's surface and as a result fusion crust is virtually absent, making this a difficult meteorite to recognize. If it had not been witnessed, it most likely would never have been found. Tatahouine is one of a few meteorites that is only available in small sizes, most are under 1 gram, and as a result larger pieces are more expensive per gram than smaller pieces. This is a nice piece that weighs 1.37 grams.
