Description
Spring 2021 in Illizi, Algeria, several scattered pieces of a large light colored achondrite meteorite were found with a total known weight of 22.51 kilograms.
“Aubrites, named after the Aubres, France, fall of 1836, are enstatite achondrites. Most are breccias (Shallowater being a notable exception) containing igneous and impact-melted clasts. Like enstatite chondrites, aubrites have highly reduced mineralogy, but they probably do not come from the same parent asteroid as either EH or EL chondrites.”
