There wer even 2 meteorites brought back from Moon say the Catalogue:

Bench Crater
Was an CM1 fragment in soil sample 12037 collected from Apollo 12

And

Hadley Rille,

A fragment of 3mg in soil sample 15602 from Apollo 15.
Was EH.

Humm perhaps we all should check our regolth brecciae and HEDs to get an
entry for each xenolithic clast in the Bulletin :-)

Buckleboo!
Martin

Couple of points


>>One small meteorite was recovered in the Apollo
Program (Hadley Rill?).(Details anyone?) Didn't it
possess impact pockmarks?

Yes. There's one of the Apollo photos clearly shows an
ipact mark. A tiny crater in a large rock. I believe
this shows that there's not likely to be much of
anything left on the moon if it hits it.

Statistically, if memory serves me right, lunar
impacts impacts are rarer than Earth ones due to the
weak gravity of the moon and not just it's smaller
cross-section.
