NWA 18045 consists of weathered stones with fusion crust and is composed of a dark, feldspathic melt breccia matrix containing lunar mineral clasts such as olivine, pyroxene, and plagioclase, along with visible glassy impact melt textures. This material originated from violent lunar impacts millions of years ago, ejecting fragments of the Moon’s surface into space before eventually landing on Earth.
