Hello Matteo, Mike, Beda, Rob, and List,

> metal grains in a lunar meteorite?

As much as I would have liked to chime in and say:

"... but several eucrites and some howardites do!"

Look at these examples:

DaG 262 - contains metal particles (5-26 wt% Ni)
DaG 400 - abundant metal of primitive meteoritic heritage
DaG 996 - FeNi metal present as minor phase
Dhofar 025, 026, 081 - FeNi metal as an accessory mineral
Dhofar 280, 287, 302 - FeNi metal as an accessory mineral
NWA 032, 773 - traces of metal
SaU 169 - metallic iron is present

etc., etc., etc. ...

So I guess we can still keep our fingers crossed for Mike's new
find from Oman being another spectacular lunar visitor here on
Planet Earth!

Best wishes for a nice
and happy weekend,

Bernd
