| Abstract | Background: A lunar meteorite found in September 2011 near Smara, southern Morocco is dominated by a lithology previously known only minimally in several subsamples of apparently related lunar mete orites. Following the discovery in 2000 of three sto nes in southern Morocco (classified together as NWA 773 [1]), additional material exhibiting more lithologi c diversity was found in several different places. In 20042005 material later revealed to be from a site near Anoual, central Morocco (classified as NWA 2700, NWA 2727, NWA 3160, NWA 3333 and Anoual) was shown to contain clasts of an olivine-phyric basalt , in addition to clasts of the olivine gabbro lithology dominant in NWA 773 [2]. A separate, fully crusted sto ne composed entirely of the olivine gabbro (NWA 2977) was found near Boudenib, Morocco later in 2005 [3]. |
