I agree with you that the angrites cannot have come from the present surface
of Mercury. However, something happened to the original surface of Mercury (in

thinking outside of the box that new discoveries will be at hand.
Take Care,
Adam

could be samples of Mercury. While it is remotely possible that they are
remnants of a crust stripped off 4.5 billion years ago, they would have
