Laburpena

The Museum of Natural Sciences of Tenerife (MCNT), holds an important collection of meteorites, collected since 1985 by researchers from such Museum in various expeditions to the south of Morocco, Sahara, Mauritania and Senegal. Initially, seven specimens (mainly stones) have been selected. Their study constitutes the first phase of the catalogue that is intended to carry out, according to the structure of the international databases on meteorites (eg Natural History Museum, London). For the seven specimens, data about descriptive properties such as provisional denomination, place of origin in NW Africa, on if the encounter is of type find or fall, number of fragments, dimensions, weight, density, mineralogy, geochemistry and comprehensive information on the main mineral phases (light microscopy transmitted and reflected, XRD, ICP-MS and electron microprobe) are presented. All data will be sent to the Meteoritical Bulletin for the corresponding classification, in accordance with the rules of The Meteoritical Society.
