[meteorite-list] New Paper on Lunar meteorite, Miller Range (MIL) 05035

[Paul]

A paper about a new lunar meteorite has been accepted for 
publication in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta. It is:

Joy, K. H., I. A. Crawford, M. Anand, R. C. Greenwood, I. A. 
Franchi, and S. S. Russell, in press, The Petrology and 
Geochemistry of Miller Range 05035: A New Lunar Gabbroic 
Meteorite. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta.

Miller Range (MIL) 05035 is identified as a lunar gabbroic 
meteorite. Its mineralogy, bulk-rock chemical composition and 
the bulk oxygen isotope values are similar to those of other 
mare basalts. It consists predominately of pyroxene grains
with large plagioclase feldspars and accessory quartz, ilmenite, 
spinel, apatite and troilite. This meteorite is similar to 
Asuka-881757 and Yamato-793169 and basaltic regolith 
breccia MET 01210.
