Classification: Lunar feldsp. breccia W-mod. / S-mod.
Place/Time: 2025 in Mauritania
Mass: 130g

History: The meteorite was found during a search in Libya and subsequently purchased by the main mass holder.
Physical characteristics: Grayish rock lacking fusion crust.
Petrography: The meteorite is a melt-breccia predominantly composed of up to 1 cm lithic clasts, up to 1.5 cm sized white anorthite fragments plus smaller and less abundant olivine and zoned pyroxene grains all set in a mostly finely crystallized melt rock matrix. Minor phases include ilmenite, chromite, troilite, and kamacite.
Geochemistry: olivine: Fa_31.7±0.4 (Fa_31.0-32.5, FeO/MnO=103±4, n=7); zoned pyroxene: Fs_26.2±5.2Wo_12.3±11.5 (Fs_14.3-34.3Wo_2.8-39.2, FeO/MnO=52±4, n=14); calcic plagioclase: An_97.4±0.6 (An_96.5-98.2, n=7)

NOTE: Full slices approximately 1.8 mm thick, one side polished and covered with paraloid.
