NWA 2977
This meteorite is currently being classified by Dr. Ted Bunch of Northern Arizona University and Dr. Tony Irving of the University of Washington.
NWA 2977 is a lunar gabbro meteorite that contains two pyroxenes, olivine, plagioclase shocked to maskelynite, K, Ba feldspar, and various Cr, Fe, Ti oxides. This cumulate lunar rock (cumulate = accumulation of crystals by gravity settling in a magma) probably originated in the lunar highlands environment as a thick lava flow or as a shallow intrusive into the highlands crust. After formation, the gabbro was moderately shocked by hypervelocity impact.
