Alha 81005 meteorite - Chemical evidence for lunar highland origin
During the 1981-82 expedition to Antarctica a one-ounce meteorite was found on the slopes of the Allan Hills Mountain. This meteorite, which was catalogued as ALHA 81005, had unusual characteristics and resembled the lunar highland rocks. In a preliminary study, it was found that the chemical compos...
