Sahara 99898 (Unclassified) - 123.5g Main Mass
Huge Shock Vein

Pictured below is the Main Mass of the meteorite, Sahara 99898. Despite much of this specimen appearing relatively unshocked (as can be seen in the second image), there is clearly a huge shock vein running through one face. This glassy black vein measures up to 10mm wide with numerous extremely fine veins webbing away from it. There are also several islands of less shocked/unshocked material floating throughout the main vein. This specimen is part of the Meteorites Australia Collection (MA.05.0078).
