Lunar Meteorite Dhofar 464 (Lunar A), Oman. The Lunar meteorite Dhofar 464 is a 22.28g stone paired with the Lunar meteorite Dhofar 026 which is the first lunar metamorphic meteorite and classified as anorthositic granulitic breccia [1,2]. The Dhofar 026 was previously interpreted as an impact melt but detailed studies of the rock and comparison to Apollo lunar samples 15418 and 60017 indicate that the rock instead is a shocked, partly melted, granulitic breccia.[1] Shukolyukov Yu.A. et al. 2001. 32nd Lunar Planet.
