NWA 400 was found before 2000. Several hundred stones were recovered from the small 1km by ½ km strewnfield located 12 km from the oasis and village of Oum Rokba. Oum Rokba was the name originally given to the meteorites and it is an accepted synonym in the Meteoritical Bulletin Database. A total known weight of more than 95 kg was found.
