HAMMADAH AL HAMRA 346 (HAH 346) METEORITES SPECIMENS

Hammadah al Hamra 346 (HaH 346) is a likely witnessed meteorite fall that was discovered 95 km southwest of Ash Shuwayrif, Libya. On August 26th, 2018 a large fireball lit up the sky in a sparsely populated region of the Jabal al Gharbi district of Libya. Over the following year about 500 kg of a freshly fallen L6 Chondrite meteorite was collected from the area which lies 95 km SW of Ash Shuwayrif, Libya.

This meteorite exhibits a matte black fusion crust lacking evidence of extensive wind abrasion. Given the lack of weathering these stones likely originated from the witnessed fall in 2018. This meteorite is often sold under the name Ghadamis, even though the strewn field is over 300 km away from the city of Ghadamis, Libya.
