Why this rock is probably not a meteorite:
This one is interesting. Even in thin section this rock resembles
some lunar regolith
breccias. For example, the clasts are angular, not rounded, and
some are rich in plagioclase. Some of the small clasts have rims,
however, and that feature is rare in lunar rocks. Also, some of the
clasts are reddish, and there are no red rocks on the Moon. (Some
lunar meteorites from the desert are stained with hematite, however).
Also, of course, there is no fusion
crust.
