Hi All, When the first U.S. lunar is found, my bet is that the finder will be either Sonny Clary or Jason Utas. Both have demonstrated the ability to find non-ordinary-chondrite meteorites -- for instance, Blue Eagle (R3-6) and Moapa Valley (CM1) by Sonny, and Superior Valley 014 (acapulcoite) by Jason.
Another name I've seen come up lately with non-OCs is Bill Sajkowicz: Chocolate Mountains (ureilite), Cargo Muchacho Mountains (CO3), and Winterhaven (howardite). I find it remarkable that one person has found a ureilite, a howardite and a CO3, and yet I haven't found a record of any chondritic finds by him. This is statistically next to impossible -- Bill must have found a LOT of chondrites to have found these three. --Rob -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thunder Stone Sent: Monday, August 23, 2010 1:35 PM To: mike; [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] How Many Lunar Meteorites? Feldsparic breccias are very common throughout the SW deserts and (I believe) in many other areas, and these look very similar to luners. I think it's going to have to have a fusion crust. If its sandblasted or very weathered, it may never be found.
