Nor do I. But the reassembled pieces look like the lower trunk of a
pyramid - in other words: if it is a meteorite it may have been oriented
with the upper part of the pyramid still missing and Vince's description
plus the chocolate-like coating (see NWA 482) reminiscent of flow lines
leads me to a very audacious assumption:

Could that be another lunar meteorite???


Best assumptions,
