These guys keep calling it a meteorite.

Per wiki: A meteorite is a rock that originated in outer space and has fallen to the surface of a planet or moon.

Thanks. I was wondering if it were defined as an 'ite' in the mineral sense since, once on the ground, you'd have to identify it by its properties.

Down with the entrenched atmosphericist terminology. There's no weather on the Moon, innit?
It should be an ameteorite.
