Scientific paper

It is suggested that MAC88105 is a regolith breccia which has experienced some recrystallization and a late shock event during which anorthositic glass veins formed. The chemistry and minearology of MAC88105 are considered to be different from those of the other lunar meteorites and suggest a different source, which is supported by cosmic-ray and noble gas data.
