Hello Mike, Jim, and List,

Sincere congrats on this new, breathtaking lunar meteorite.
It is simply amazing what bounties the Hot Deserts yield !

Not only does it resemble Dhofar 910 (Siggi Haberer's and Norbert
Classen's "Black Moon") but it also somehow reminds me a little of
ALHA 81005 - and, of course, of Calcalong Creek as well !

Wonder if NWA 2995's and ALHA 81005's mineralogy and chemistry are
more or less identical. Visually at least, they look similar though
NWA 2995 is much more intensely brecciated + micro-brecciated.

Best regards,
