The article highlights Morocco's significant rise in meteorite discoveries, particularly since 1999, where recognized finds exceed a thousand. Contrasting the minimalistic display of Moroccan dealers at a meteorite show with the organized setups of Europeans and Americans, it emphasizes the chaos within the North African meteorite trade. Hasnaa Chennaoui Aoudjehane, a professor and consultant to the Meteoritical Society's Committee for Meteorite Nomenclature, is noted for her efforts to bring order to this chaotic sector despite the perception of unethical practices in the trade.
"It wasn't the first time her name had come up; Hasnaa Chennaoui Aoudjehane, a professor, has somewhat succeeded in turning the chaos of the North African meteorite trade into something more orderly."
