Abstract

Ain Ben Tili 003 is an ordinary chondrite found in the Maurita-nian Sahara desert that arrived at our laboratory on February 5, 2022. It is a unique stone of 189 grams (TKW), whose classification has been carried out through petrography and magnetic susceptibility techniques. It is an ordinary chondrite type meteorite, H6 S2 W2. Magnetic susceptibility measurements carried out with the “Met Met” instrument developed by Uehara et al 2023, support the classification.
