Geologists also have found 19 fragments of lunar meteorites that were blasted off the surface by impacts and landed in parts of Antarctica, Australia, Morocco and Libya.

Tektites, right? Only 19? I had thought that tektites were quite a bit more commonplace than that. I may be laboring under a misapprehension...
Oopsie! I just hit a textbook, and it said that tektites are from material ejected from impacts. i.e., nearby Meteor Crater in Arizona, tektites would be stuff that was thrown up and came down again...
What is the term for lunar material thrown up from impacts that lands on earth...and are there only 19 known such fragments?
(I'm so confused!)
