About This Meteorite

Timétrine 001 is a melt rock-dominated lunar breccia, formed during high-energy impact events on the Moon. These impacts melted and mixed pre-existing lunar rocks, creating a fused matrix that preserves a wide range of lunar lithologies.

The polished surface reveals:

• Melt-rich matrix with glassy textures

• Blue-toned regions within the melt

• Mare basalt pockets

• Light feldspathic (anorthositic) bands

• Fine clasts of basalt and anorthosite

This combination reflects material sourced from multiple regions of the lunar crust, all fused together during intense impact processes.

Petrography

Detailed analysis shows:

• Melt-rock dominant structure

• Small basaltic clasts (<4 mm) and anorthosite clasts (<1 cm)

• Angular mineral fragments including plagioclase, zoned pyroxene, and ferroan olivine (<500 µm)

• Plagioclase-rich bands visible as lighter regions

• Accessory minerals including ilmenite and chromite

Classifier: J.T. Mitchell

Formation of Lunar Melt Breccias

Lunar melt breccias form when asteroid impacts melt portions of the lunar surface, mixing and re-solidifying material into a unified rock. These meteorites preserve a record of lunar impact history, combining fragments from different geological environments into a single specimen.
