{"title":"Hammadah al Hamra 346 (aka. Ghadamis) - L6 Ordinary Chondrite","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHammadah al Hamra 346, also known on the collector market as Ghadamis, is an L6 Ordinary Chondrite from Libya. It is officially recorded as a find with a possible fall date of 2018, following reports of a large fireball seen and heard over the region. Formed over 4.5 billion years ago, this meteorite represents primitive asteroid material that has undergone significant thermal metamorphism on its parent body, producing the equilibrated structure typical of an L6 Chondrite.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHammadah al Hamra 346 specimens usually display a grey to brown interior with a compact, recrystallised texture. As an L6 Ordinary Chondrite, its original chondrules are generally less distinct than in lower petrologic types, having been softened and altered by long-term heating within the parent asteroid. Many pieces may show fusion crust, desert weathering, or fresh broken surfaces depending on preservation and preparation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStudying and collecting Hammadah al Hamra 346 provides insight into the thermal evolution of Ordinary Chondrite parent bodies and the continued recovery of important meteorites from North African desert regions. Its association with the name Ghadamis and its possible witnessed fall history add further interest for collectors. For those seeking a recognised L6 Ordinary Chondrite with modern recovery context, HaH 346 offers an appealing combination of scientific value, accessibility, and provenance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0518\/8678\/collections\/Collection_Place_Holder_8d736da9-f074-46d2-b02a-bcb1c8b22d62.jpg?v=1790601964","url":"https:\/\/outerspacer.com\/es\/collections\/hammadah-al-hamra-346-aka-ghadamis-l6-ordinary-chondrite.oembed","provider":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
