The list contains only those meteorites that have been announced in The Meteoritical Bulletin,
described elsewhere in the scientific literature, or that I've studied myself
and believe to be of lunar origin.

Notes:

(1) Other pairings may exist that have not yet been recognized. Some of these suspected pairings are based only on the author's compositional data.

(2) None of these launch pairings is "proven." Those in normal type are widely accepted and consistent with CRE (cosmic-ray exposure) data. Suspected (i.e., the author suspects) launch pairings in italics are based mainly on similarity in chemical composition. These all need testing by CRE data.

(3) The masses listed here are those value reported in The Meteoritical Bulletin.

(4) Year-Month-Day

(5) It is not always possible to identify the type of breccia from a small thin section and different petrologists don't always agree on the classification. Some of these classifications might be in error.

(6) We have analyzed a sample at Washington University.

Thanks to Erich H. Haiderer, Norbert Classen, and Tony Irving for providing samples, images, and opinions that help sort out possible pairing relationships among the many Dhofar and Northwest Africa lunar meteorites.
