[meteorite-list] Question - meteorites returned from Moon

[aerubin at ucla.edu]

The sample described in the McSween paper is Bench Crater.  There are  
also a few iron fragments that are probably iron meteorites, but they  
have not been officially designated.  There are probably additional  
small meteorites waiting to be discovered.
