Good evening, all. Can someone please help me out with an explanation?
In looking at the Met Bul classifications of the "pairings" we have: NWA 773, Lunar cumulate olivine norite with regolith breccia NWA 2700 Classification pending NWA 2727 Lunar mare basalt/gabbro breccia NWA 2977 Lunar gabbro NWA 3160 Lunar mare basalt breccia NWA 3333 Classification pending To my military mind, it seems to me that the classifications of the above Lunars are divergent enough to wonder how they could be paired. If they are truely paired, shouldn't the original classifications been the same or closer?
