The sample described in the McSween paper is Bench Crater. There are
also a few iron fragments that are probably iron meteorites, but they
have not been officially designated. There are probably additional
small meteorites waiting to be discovered.
Quoting tracy latimer <daist...@hotmail.com>:
Is this a third meteorite fragment, distinct from Hadley Rille and
Bench Crater? Could there be more waiting to be found on continued
inspection?
Best!

Subject: [meteorite-list] Question - meteorites returned from Moon
A 1976 paper in Earth and Planetary Science Letters describes a
unique chondrite (meteorite) returned from the Moon. The fragment
measures 3 x 1.5 mm and shows some similarities with the CI
meteorites.

soil. Earth and Planetary Science Letter, 31, 193-199.
