However, I think you just found another typical example of a meteorwrong. The "fusion crust" seems to be desert varnish, so I doubt that this rock has ever been in space. Sorry, but I don't think that it's a meteorite at all. Don't feel too bad, though. Very few people had the luck to find a lunar meteorite so far. Just imagine the following: More than 25,000 meteorites have been recognized up to this day, and just about 25 have proven to be of lunar origin. That's just about one of thousand...
