Moon Meteorites
A part slice of a Meteorite from the Moon.
The blackened edge is fusion crust, the scorched outer edge of the meteorite.
This piece of the moon arrived on earth as the ejected debris caused by a meteor impact on the moon.
The ejected bits of the moon that escaped the lunar gravitational pull were then met with the possibility of being captured by the
earth's gravitational pull, and would fall as a meteorite to the earth. They are positively identified by comparison to the actual rock
chemistry of the lunar rocks that the Apollo astronauts brought back. Out of this world!
