ALH 81005 is a meteorite found in the Allan Hills region of Antarctica in 1982 and subsequently identified as material ejected from the Moon. It is an anorthositic regolith breccia composed of fragments derived largely from the lunar highlands, mixed and consolidated by impacts. Its recognition as t...
Why this score?
First meteorite recognized as lunar, historic classification breakthrough, high scientific importance.
Scoring methodology
Northwest Africa 5000, commonly abbreviated NWA 5000, is a lunar meteorite found in Morocco in 2007. The original stone weighed about 11.5 kilograms and consists of feldspathic breccia, a rock assembled from fragments produced by impacts on the Moon's anorthosite-rich crust. Its lunar origin is esta...
Why this score?
Large lunar feldspathic breccia, major collector prestige, significant available lunar mass.
Scoring methodology
Dhofar 008 is a lunar meteorite found in the Dhofar region of Oman in 1999. Laboratory study established that it originated from the Moon, making it part of the limited body of lunar material delivered naturally to Earth by impacts. Its brecciated composition contains fragments produced and mixed by...
Why this score?
Early Omani lunar mare basalt, rare lunar status, good scientific and collector value.
Scoring methodology
NWA 482, found in Morocco in 2000, is a lunar anorthositic impact-melt breccia and one of the most thoroughly studied Northwest Africa lunar meteorites recovered to date.
Why this score?
Thoroughly studied NWA lunar breccia, good research profile, not uniquely historic.
Scoring methodology
Yamato 791197, commonly abbreviated Y-791197, is a lunar meteorite recovered in Antarctica's Yamato Mountains by a Japanese Antarctic research expedition. It is an anorthositic regolith breccia composed of fragments produced and mixed by impacts on the Moon, including material associated with the lu...
Why this score?
Early Antarctic lunar breccia, useful highland sample, lower recognition than ALH81005.
Scoring methodology
Carbonaceous chondrite found in the Sahara Desert in 1998, preserving primitive pre-solar grains and organic compounds from the early solar system.
Why this score?
Primitive carbonaceous find with presolar and organic record, solid scientific interest.
Scoring methodology
Dar al Gani 400 is a lunar meteorite found in Libya in 1998, not a Martian shergottite. It is classified as an anorthositic regolith breccia, a rock assembled from fragments of lunar crust and surface material that were broken and recombined by impacts. Its mineralogy and impact history make it usef...
Why this score?
Libyan Martian shergottite, rare Mars origin, overshadowed by more famous Martian meteorites.
Scoring methodology
MAC 88104 is a lunar meteorite recovered in 1988 from the MacAlpine Hills region of Antarctica during systematic Antarctic meteorite collection work. It is classified as an anorthositic regolith breccia, consisting of fragmented lunar highland rocks and surface material consolidated by repeated impa...
Why this score?
Early Antarctic lunar regolith breccia, solid research value, modest broader reputation.
Scoring methodology
Kalahari 009 is a lunar meteorite discovered in the Kalahari Desert of Botswana, Southern Africa. Classified as an anorthositic breccia, it is a piece of the Moon's crust that was ejected into space by an asteroid impact before falling to Earth. The meteorite is distinguished by its feldspar-rich mi...
Why this score?
Ureilite from Kalahari, rare achondrite class, useful but not a classic type specimen.
Scoring methodology
Yamato 82192 is a meteorite collected in the Yamato Mountains of Antarctica during the 1982-83 Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition. It is classified as a lunar anorthositic breccia, a rock made from broken and re-cemented fragments of anorthositic lunar material. The specimen belongs to Japan's s...
Why this score?
Japanese Antarctic collection specimen, catalog value, individual reputation unclear and limited.
Scoring methodologyFrequently Asked Questions
What leads the Anorthositic Breccia ranking?
ALH81005 currently leads the Anorthositic Breccia results with a displayed score of 9.00/10. This is an editorial ranking result for the items included on this page, not a universal verdict for every use case.
How should I read the score and confidence label?
The 0 to 10 score is Lunoo's ranking judgment. Strong confidence means 10 or more recorded comparison checks, some means 2 to 9, and provisional means fewer than 2.
What supports this ranking?
Lunoo combines category fit, feature coverage, pricing and value signals, public reception, recency, and peer comparisons. Public source links support factual item details when available, but they are not required for membership in this 10-item ranking.
Can I compare the leading results for Anorthositic Breccia?
Yes. The comparison links put adjacent leaders side by side so you can inspect differences that one ranking score cannot capture.
