Footnotes

The Enstatite-rich Al Haggounia 001 meteorite was found in 2006, and some of the material from this meteorite has also been reported under the name of Northwest Africa 2828 (NWA 2828). The material is heavily weathered and appears to be quite old, possibly 20,000 years. The Enstatite is accompanied by iron-nickel metal, sulphides, graphite, and Schreibersite.
