Tarda is a witnessed C2 Ungrouped Carbonaceous Chondrite fall from southern Morocco, which occurred on 25 August 2020. A bright fireball was widely seen across the region, followed by rapid searches and the recovery of many small fusion-crusted stones west of the town of Tarda. With a reported total known mass of around 4 kg, Tarda is a scarce and scientifically important modern Carbonaceous fall, preserving primitive material from the early solar system.

Tarda specimens are typically small, dark, fine-grained, and fragile, with many stones weighing less than 1 g. The interiors are dull black with scattered pale grains or clasts up to around 1 mm, while some fusion-crusted stones show a subtle blue iridescence on the trailing edge. As a C2-ung meteorite, Tarda has experienced aqueous alteration on its parent body but does not fit neatly into established Carbonaceous groups such as CI, CM, CO, CV, or CK.

Studying Tarda provides valuable insight into water-altered primitive asteroid material, early solar system chemistry, and the diversity of Carbonaceous Chondrites beyond the main recognised groups. Research has also compared Tarda with P-type asteroid material, making it especially interesting for understanding dark, primitive bodies in the solar system. For collectors, Tarda offers a rare combination of witnessed fall provenance, Carbonaceous classification, limited recovered mass, and strong scientific importance.
