Ellipse of fall

Dar al Gani CO3 more probably paired specimens : DaG 005, 006, 023, 025, 027, 032, 067, 078, 081, 082, 083, 136, 137, 171, 173, 186, 188, 189, 190, 191, 192, 194, 203, 204, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, 231, 289, 291, 331, 332, 601, 667, 668, 749, 845, 846, 847, 848, 852, 853, 854, 858, 998... (NWA 062?)

The first step of the strewnfield work is to gather as much as possible information from the field, especially if it is a white plateau like Dar al Gani or a clear soil. When accurate data can be collected and compared, many results are available which help to lead the search.
Our fieldwork following the Libyan carbonaceous ellipse of fall is an example. The studies of data accumulated on easy prospecting place (clear and flat soil) allowed us to extend the search with success going through difficult areas. Now the meteorite Dar al Gani 749 is the third largest carbonaceous chondrite discovery in the world and not only the 25 kg which would be the best result with an NWA approach and random collecting, when all the additional information are missing and the start point for future search is erased or false.

Data collected on Dar al Gani strewnfield show there is more than 90 chances in a hundred that your find, whatever its size, comes from a multiple fall. With NWA meteorites, ellipses of fall are erased or false, majority of the paired specimens can't be found and stay in desert or are sold as a new meteorite to increase the price.
