Hi List,
I know this has been talked about on-list but... I keep getting this
question, or people that say they have found a Lunar meteorite. I'm
wondering how many there actually are. I've heard numbers thrown about
haphazardly, but no one has been able to give me a clear and concise answer.
Hi Eric,
For collector's purposes, Norbert Classen's listing is
near-definitive. According to his last update, the number of lunar
meteorites is 67, not counting pairings.

Dear Eric:
My alphanumeric list contains 140 named stones,
http://meteorites.wustl.edu/lunar/moon_meteorites_list_alpha.htm
with the caveat that some do not actually have official names yet
(e.g., Unnamed 12). They're on the list because I've analyzed them
and know them to be lunar. That's
know one is out
there... somewhere.

Hi Eric
Thank you Dr. Korotev! (Randy)
I appreciate your response, and I know you can understand the confusion.
Comparing the list of pairings of the 130 total stones Your list
combined with Norbert's gives a better understanding of just how few
Lunar meteorites there actually are. Re-figuring the
And think:
The moon is the closest celestial body to us; closer than Mars and the asteroid
belt.

Still true, Eric.

Thank you once more so much Randy for that unvaluable list.
I went through your complete list (first link) rapidly so as to update
my collection and noticed that NWA 3186 is missing in the headings
(though it is mentioned in the NWA 2977 pairings...)
Do you agree and, if so, would this

another problem with finding lunar or any meteorite in north and south america
is the mostly wet environment. AS any treasure hunter can confirm.objects at
first on the surface are quickly burried if they are not burried by the impact.
Coins lost 50 years ago are usually found 8to 10 inches
