Meteorite

Sahara 97003

Also called Sahara 97003 / “Black chondrite L5”

This name could not be traced to a recognized meteorite.Louis Moinet’s tag catalogue associates Sahara 97003 with its watches, while the detailed Cosmopolis page calls the insert only “Black chondrite L5.” The Meteoritical Bulletin classifies Sahara 97003 as L6, not L5. The identity therefore cannot be reconciled from public sources.
