Not to brag, but my uncle sent a photo of my grandpa with a moon rock to the family and was like "Maybe Jareth can figure out which rock it is" and within an hour of reading the email I had with what I would estimate to be at least 95% certainty. It was this one. Booya

#As much as anything it's familiarity with Grandpa's work #I couldn't just jump into a photo of any moon sample and figure it out like that #Although I probably could do so with no more than like a day if pressed #In that there's only like a hundred or so individual samples and they're very well doccumented #But this one I was narrowing down from four #Three of which could be rejected for pretty straightforward reasons #And the fourth of which more or less matched the photo perfectly
