Tirhert is a witnessed Eucrite fall from Morocco, which occurred on 9 July 2014. The fall was observed as a bright fireball followed by multiple sonic booms, with the first stones recovered the following day. As a Eucrite, Tirhert belongs to the HED Achondrite family, a group strongly linked to asteroid 4 Vesta. It represents basaltic crustal material from an early differentiated asteroid, formed by ancient volcanic processes before being ejected into space by a later impact event.

Tirhert specimens often show a dark to black fusion crust, with interiors displaying a pale to grey igneous texture. As an unbrecciated Eucrite, it represents coherent basaltic material rather than a mixed impact breccia, giving it a more direct volcanic character than many HED meteorites. Its mineralogy is dominated by pyroxene and plagioclase, consistent with basaltic lava or shallow crustal material from Vesta.

Studying Tirhert provides valuable insight into volcanic activity, crust formation, and igneous processes on asteroid 4 Vesta. Its witnessed fall status, rapid recovery, and Achondrite classification make it especially desirable for collectors focused on modern falls, HED meteorites, or Vestan material. Each specimen represents fresh, documented material from one of the solar system’s earliest differentiated bodies.
