Toufassour, Tata, Morocco

Find: 16 November 2007

Mesosiderite

History: A small impact structure about 3 m in diameter was found in the vicinity of the village of Toufassour (Tata, Morocco). A number of stones have been collected since 2003 by nomads and sold to dealers in Erfoud. In particular two stones totaling 3 kg and a number of fragments were sold by one nomad, but the most significant mass (an ~70 kg stone) was found by a woman hunting for meteorites. More recently many small stones were collected by Moroccan scientists (IZU. Agadir) around the impact structure: Three pieces of 61.0, 15.5 and 13.1 grams and fragments ranging 1 to 5 grams, totaling about 320 grams. Total mass exceeds ~73.3 kg.

Physical characteristics: The fusion crust is absent and the surface appears dark brown. Larger nodules of metal protrude here and there, and larger inclusions of silicates are seen, as greenish spots. Many of the smaller specimens were rich in metal, the phase, which best resisted weathering.
