History: Purchased by Li Bofang from a Moroccan dealer at the mineral show in Beijing in Nov. 2015. Physical characteristics: 344.8 g stone, about 70% of the surface is covered with yellowish oxidized crust; light-gray interior with many chondrules and metal specks. Some cracks are partly filled yellow colored adherent soil-like material. Petrography: (R. Bartoschewitz, Bart, B. Li, Beijing) cut surface shows recrystallized matrix with chondrules of 0.2-1.0 mm (av. 0.6 mm), about 30% of chondrules are well defined. Geochemistry: (R. Bartoschewitz, Bart) Magnetic susceptibility log χ (× 10-9 m3/kg) = 5.01. Classification: ordinary chondrite (H~5) Specimens: 25.3 g on deposit at Kiel, B. Li holds the main mass and 40 g with Bart.

History: (Ziyao Wang) Purchased by Ziyao Wang from Aziz Habibi in Erfoud, Morocco 2018. Physical characteristics: (Ziyao Wang) yellow and brownish colored porous flat stone of 2000 g Petrography: (R. Bartoschewitz, Bart) strong alterated chondritic clasts are set a limonitic terrestrial matrix.
