    Well, considering that collecting 200-300 pounds of them cost
    several hundred million dollars, and that the ones I have seen are
    not (geologists, please forgive me) very interesting rocks in and of
    themselves, I seriously doubt there is a profitable market for Moon
    (lunar) rocks for the foreseeable future. 

    If any such rock was found to include a fossil, that would be MAJOR
    headline material, and since no such headlines have appeared outside
    of the National Enquirer, any "Moon rocks" involving fossils would
    have to be considered fakes. They should earn the seller, at the very
    least, a slap upside the head.
