Resum

The Tenerife Museum of Natural Sciences (MCNT), holds an important collection of meteorites, collected since 1985 in various expeditions to the south of Morocco, Sahara, Mauritania and Senegal. Seven specimens (stones) have been selected for study and cataloguing, following the structure of the international databases on meteorites (e.g., Natural History Museum, London). Descriptive data such as provisional nomenclature, location, type of event, number of fragments, dimensions, weight, density, mineralogy and geochemistry of mineral phases are provided. A previous classification was made in accordance with the rules of The Meteoritical Society.
