| NEW NWA 6355
(Lunar-Melt Matrix
Mingled Breccia) ||
found 2009, Morocco || |
|
A single 760 gram
complete stone was found in 2009
in Morocco. Only ~300 grams from
this mass is publicly available.
A clast-laden vitric breccia
consisting of fine-grained
mineral debris (pyroxene,
olivine, anorthite) and sparse
polycrystalline igneous clasts
in a heterogeneous, “swirly”
glass matrix.
There is a close
similarity in bulk chemical
composition between this
grouping of lunar rocks and
Apollo 16 soils.
This is one of
the only instances where lunar
meteorites can be correlated
with materials at a specific
landing site on the Moon. - Dr.
