Scientific paper

The meteorite Hammadah al Hamra 119 is a new member of the Rumuruti (R) chondrite group and the third R chondrite found in the Sahara. Based on the find locations and significant differences in petrography and noble gas contents, a pairing of the three Saharan R chondrites, Acfer 217, Dar al Gani 013, and Hammadah al Hamra 119, can be excluded. The meteorite Hammadah al Hamra 119 is unbrecciated and can be classified as an R4 chondrite containing equilibrated olivines (about Fa 38) and rare Mg-rich olivine.
