[meteorite-list] Kalahari lunar meteorite stones - photos

[Randy Korotev]

Kalhari 008, at least, appears to contain solar-wind gases.  The 
reported textures, mineralogy, mineral compositions (including 
Fe/Mn), and chemical compositions are consistent with lunar 
origin.  Only concentrations of a few elements were listed in The 
Meteoritical Bulletin, however.
