The thermoluminescence characteristics of lunar meteorites Yamato-791197 and ALHA81005 are remarkably similar although not identical. Natural TL glow curves peak at a much higher temperature than the artificial glow curves, 350℃ vs. 150℃. The absence of low temperature natural TL is interpreted as r...
