Hi Darren and all,
Based on all the previous finds, The average lunar meteorite specimen weighs 197.02 gm. (6 grams to 1425 grams, 3.1 lbs). So this doesn't fit the usual, expected size. Looks like either a lower impacting body hit the moon or another size impactor can liberate specimens from the moon.
Interesting in any case.

I certainly didn't know that such a large lunar had ever been found. Even more interesting than the
size (to me) is that "the sample does not contain solar wind implanted rare gases".
