[meteorite-list] New lunar meteorite

[stan .]

Kilgore describes the stuff as a cumulate olivine norite with regolith 
breccia - since he has the mian mass of 773 i assume this desingation is 
comming form someone in the know - AFIK its simply a matter of what 
convention you wish to use. ie, is that rock an L7 or a primitive 
achonderite :)
