Lot 67  | A STONE METEORITE – TAMDAHKT
Valeur estimée
£ 2 000 – 3 000 
Shortly before the winter solstice in 2008 an intense fireball lit up the sky above Morocco. In the Atlas mountains, a blast was heard, followed by an aftershock. Mike Farmer explained: “Due to the high relief in this mountain region, covered with snow at this time of the year, searching for the meteorite was a difficult task. The first reports on finding pieces of a meteorite came a couple of weeks later.”
Christie's would like to thank Dr. Alan E. Rubin at the Department of Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles for his assistance in preparing this catalogue.
