Hello Tracy and List,

a) Bench Crater - shocked CM1 (contains water-bearing minerals)
b) Hadley Rille - EH

Reference:

ZOLENSKY M.E. (1997) Structural water in the Bench Crater chondrite
returned from the Moon (Meteoritics 32-1, 1997, 015-018).

RUBIN A.E. (1997) The Hadley Rille enstatite chondrite and its
agglutinate-like rim: Impact melting during accretion to the Moon
(Meteoritics 32-1, 1997, 135-141).

Cheers,

Bernd
