Kilgore describes the stuff as a cumulate olivine norite with regolith breccia - since he has the mian mass of 773 i assume this desingation is comming form someone in the know - AFIK its simply a matter of what convention you wish to use. ie, is that rock an L7 or a primitive achonderite :)

Dear List,

Am I missing something or has the classification been changed on NWA 773?

NWA 773 is a basaltic regolith breccia with clasts of cumulate olivine
gabbro not a Norite. Gabbro clasts have been found in other Lunaites
including NWA 3136 but that does not make them Norites.

A little confused,

Adam
