Lamine Henoun
Lamine Henoun, a 50-year-old local expert and part-time security guard in Mauritania, has developed a keen interest in meteorites. Self-taught in the study of these cosmic stones, he assists local herders like Mohamed Bagouma in identifying valuable finds among the rocks they collect in the Sahara Desert. Known for his proficiency in multiple languages and a background in literature, Henoun uses tools like a magnifying glass and a magnet to evaluate potential meteorites, which he then promotes online to attract collectors. Despite the challenges of the trade, he remains hopeful about the potential for discovery in a region rich with meteorite history.
