Abstract

Dar al Gani 1071 is a brecciated ordinary chondrite, found in the Libyan desert of Al Jufrah, in 2014, and purchased on November 1 of the same year from a collector. It is a unique stone of 85 grams (TKW), whose classification has been carried out through petrography and magnetic susceptibility techniques. It is a meteorite of the ordinary chondrite type, brecciated, LL5 S2 W2. Magnetic susceptibility measurements carried out with the “Met Met” instrument developed by Uehara et al 2023, support the classification.
