This sonic phenomenon was also heard in both nearby Mauritania and Western Sahara. A short time later numerous extremely fresh meteorites were recovered in northern Mauritania close to the border region.

An aesthetic broken face accents the front of the specimen while the base exhibits secondary crust.
