Description
QUE94281, the newest basaltic lunar meteorite, is a complex regolith breccia with abundant glass. This glass occurs in a variety of forms and compositions; fusion crust, splash glass coating, glass veins and glass beads. In both mineralogy and composition the breccia is intermediate between highland and mare rocks, but closer to mare samples. It is very similar to lunar meteorite Y-792374 and may be derived from the same site on the Moon.
