Abstract
El Museo de Ciencias Naturales de Tenerife (MCNT), cuenta con una importante colección de meteoritos, recolectados desde el año 1985 en diversas expediciones a la zona Sur de Marruecos, Sahara, Mauritania y Senegal. Se han seleccionado siete ejemplares (lititos), con objeto de estudiarlos y catalogarlos, siguiendo la estructura de las bases de datos internacionales sobre meteoritos (por ej., Museo de Historia Natural, Londres). Se aportan datos descriptivos tales como nomenclatura provisional, localización, tipo de encuentro, número de fragmentos, dimensiones, peso, densidad, mineralogía y geoquímica de las principales fases minerales. Se ha realizado una clasificación preliminar de acuerdo a las normas de «The Meteoritical Society».

Seven specimens (stones) have been selected for study and cataloguing, following the structure of the international databases on meteorites (e.g., Natural History Museum, London). Descriptive data such as provisional nomenclature, location, type of event, number of fragments, dimensions, weight, density, mineralogy and geochemistry of mineral phases are provided. A previous classification was made in accordance with the rules of The Meteoritical Society.
