Hello Matteo, Mike, Beda, Rob, and List,
> metal grains in a lunar meteorite?
As much as I would have liked to chime in and say:
"... but several eucrites and some howardites do!"
Look at these examples:
DaG 262 - contains metal particles (5-26 wt% Ni)
DaG 400 - abundant metal of primitive meteoritic heritage
DaG 996 - FeNi metal present as minor phase
Dhofar 025, 026, 081 - FeNi metal as an accessory mineral
Dhofar 280, 287, 302 - FeNi metal as an accessory mineral
NWA 032, 773 - traces of metal
SaU 169 - metallic iron is present
etc., etc., etc. ...
So I guess we can still keep our fingers crossed for Mike's new
find from Oman being another spectacular lunar visitor here on
Planet Earth!
Best wishes for a nice
and happy weekend,
Bernd
