Footnote
Acfer 209 (Aguemour, Tamanrasset, Algeria) CR2 (stone) - found 7th April 1991:
A rare Renazzo-type carbonaceous chondrite find from the Sahara Desert.
A delightfully "visual" meteorite in section, revealing armoured chondrules, dark carbonaceous inclusions, and very little matrix. Study material at its best.
