COLLECTION
Meteorite Name: NWA 4734
Location: Morocco, Africa
Classification: Lunar Mare Basalt
Witnessed Fall: No
Date and Time: Found October 2006
TKW: 1382 grams
Remarks:
Incredibly fresh, crusted lunar specimen from the back side of the moon. Only two such meteorites have ever been recovered, the other being LAP04841 from Antarctica, and it is almost a certainty that both meteorites were ejected from the same lunar crater by a single impact.

One of these craters from 'the dark side of the moon' may represent the impact event that ejected this material (moon not in my collection... for reference only)

Perhaps an impact similar to this one, recorded on January 4th 2008 at 11:42:38, ejected this material from the moon?
