In recent years the Sahara has become an important source of new meteorite finds. Especially in Libya the two recovery areas Dar al Gani (DaG) and Hammadah al Hamra (HaH) have yielded between 1990 and 1999 more than 850 meteorites. Several finds from hot deserts are heavily weathered and a meteoritic origin is not obvious from a first inspection. We report here noble gas analyses of 11 ordinary chondrites that are identified as meteorites by their noble gas record. These measurements have been carried out before other investigations took place and showed unambiguously that these rocks are meteorites. It should be mentioned that also several pseudometeorites with the appearance of meteorites were analyzed but their noble gas record did not indicate an extra-terrestrial origin; these results are not reported here. In addition, two eucrites and two ureilites from the Sahara were analyzed in connection with radionuclide measurements.
