metwerks Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Enclosed is a picture of NWA 8010. I am curious to know more details on the rough surface and if this is tearing from entering the earths atmosphere or from weathering here on earth. I see a lot of other lunar meteorites that have similar exterior textures as apposed to the typical fusion crust and would like to learn more about.

Mikestang Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 That exterior is from terrestrial weathering. I don't know how they find some of those lunars out in the sahara... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
