[meteorite-list] KREEP and SAU 169

So, in the process of googling around I see that the only other KREEP rock
(other than the Hupe's and Chladni's paired specimens) is SAU 169 - which,
as far as I can tell has not been distributed into any private hands
(correct me, of course!)

The thing is about SAU 169 is that they have a pretty good idea which crater
the bugger was finally launched to Earth  from, by careful and I think
clever analysis of the petrological history of the rock ( see http://tinyurl

they have managed to confidently predict which crater launched it into the
orbit that finally hit the Earth.
So, any ideas regarding the paired KREEP rocks and their 'parent' location?


ciao!
