Long-lived radionuclides produced by cosmic rays in determine, on the one hand, the spectral distribution and the constancy of the cosmic ray flux and, on the other hand, to study the exposure history of the meteorites themselves. During the last four years we investigated a set of nearly one hundred meteorite samples with respect to cosmogenic radionuclides. Among them we found five meteorites from the Algerian and Libyan Sahara containing rather low radionuclide concentrations. To find out whether those reflect a short or a complex exposure time as meteoroids or "unusual" shielding conditions of the analysed sample, we decided to look at stable cosmogenic nuclides, too. Comparing the complete set of data to theoretical model calculations [2) offers the possibility to reveal the meteorite histories.
