First Lunar Meteorite Found?

Saying that Yamato 791197 "is the first rock to be found on Earth identified as a lunar meteorite" is confusing when ALH 81005 is "the first lunar meteorite found on Earth." After a little bit of digging around, I think what the two articles are trying to get across is that Yamato was found first, but not identified as a lunar meteorite until after ALH 81005 was. However, if anything I would think the two descriptions should actually be switched between the two meteorites. What would make it clear is if the date of discovery and date of identification of both were included in both articles. Seems like ALH 81005 was identified in 1983. Was it the 1985 paper by Ostertag that first identified Yamato 791197 as a lunar meteorite or was it sooner? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Squidroot2 (talk • contribs) 03:14, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
