  Greetings. I agree with Bernd. I was lucky enough to
read this article before it was published and thought
also that it was a great read and really held my
attention. If you can`t feel that Norbert is REALLY a
Lunatic from reading his article, I guess your brain
is just like one of those many rusting Nantans out
there! Good job and hopefully will be reading more
articles from him!

> Hello Norbert and List,

> Congratulations on your recent article in the latest

> magazine. It is very well written and fascinating
> (no wonder though as the

> that your report imparts to meteorites from Lady
> Luna (and from Mars).
>
> There is a listing of lunar meteorites on page 13.
> Ttwo Japanese Antarctic lunaites
> and one NWA are described as "LUN G": Yamato 793169,
> Asuka 881757, and NWA 773.
>
> What does the "G" stand for? Yamato 793169 is
> basaltic, NWA 773
> is described as a "cumulate olivine norite regolith
> breccia".
>
> Asuka 881757, on the other hand, is described as
> showing
> "... an extraordinarily coarse-grained GABBROIC
> structure..."
>
> Does the "G" stand for "gabbroic" and, if so, who
