Re: [meteorite-list] KREEP and SAU 169 AD
Hello Martin and List, The KREEP material is very unique and interesting. I have the main mass of Dhofar 925 in my collection, which is the largest stone of the small Dhofar grouping from the KREEP region of the moon. I have been thinking recently of trading/selling off this beautiful specimen. It is a thin end cut, 36mm X 27mm X 8mm (at widest points), and weighs 6.856 grams. If you are interested in this specimen please email me for pictures or with any questions.

The thing is about SAU 169 is that they have a pretty good idea which crater the bugger was finally launched to Earth from, by careful and I think clever analysis of the petrological history of the rock ( see http://tinyurl com/ytufj6 ) they have managed to confidently predict which crater launched it into the orbit that finally hit the Earth. So, any ideas regarding the paired KREEP rocks and their 'parent' location? ciao!
