Jbilet Winselwan Meteorite, a carbonaceous chondrite classified CM2.

History: In June 2013, a meteorite hunter, reported a new carbonaceous chondrite that had been found near Smara. Shortly later, many meteorite hunters hunted the area and discovered small and complete pieces, some medium-sized pieces from 10 to 200 g and rare big pieces of more that 200 g. The largest sample found is a 900 g individual.

The oxygen isotope compositions, petrography and mineral compositions are all consistent with CM2.
