Hello Phil and List,

No, that does not hold true anymore! There are 20+ lunar meteorites
from Oman (Dhofar region), at least 4 from Northwest Africa (NWA),
and two from the Libyan Sahara (Dar al Gani). The only southern
hemisphere, lunar meteorite (apart from Antarctica, of course
- 8 US American lunar meteorites and 9 Japanese lunar meteorites),
is Calcalong Creek (Australia).

Regards,

Bernd
