Name: Northwest Africa 1929
Location: Morocco
Type: Achondrite Howardite

This meteorite is classified as a very rare achondrite, Howardite (AHOW).
The Howardites are very rare, being comprised of crushed up Eucrites and
Diogenites and containing bits of other meteorite types. It is basically
the soil of an asteroid that has been churned up by meteorite impacts and
mixed with them. As you can see in the slices below, there are clasts of
many meteorites, including some that look to be carbonaceous! This meteorite
was found in Morocco in 2003, and so far the total known weight is around
15 kilograms.

Never published in the Meteoritical Society Bulletins but some information is available.
