Hi List,

I just got an update that the Moons average density is 3.344 g/cm3 and that Mare type basalts are pretty close to this average. I was told that Kalahari 009's bulk density is greater than 3.275 g/cm3 but no reference was provided. Does this figure sound correct?

I would think that lunar meteorites would be a little lower when porosity and vesicles are take into account but I find my knowledge is lacking in this seemingly simple area. My understanding is that Mare type lunar material is generally more dense than highlands material.

Does trend hold true for Lunaites?

Best Regards,

Adam

Dear List Members,

I have a question perhaps somebody who subscribes to the list can answer. What is the bulk density (g/cm3) of Kalahari 009? I have been researching papers online and cannot find a clear answer.

Thank you in advance,

Best Regards,

Adam
