Hi Joel and all,

If I'm not mistaken the largest main mass of a chondrite is Jilin at 1.9 =
tons. A total of 4 tons of fragments fell in China on March 8, 1976. I'm =
familiar with this as it's my "birthday" meteorite ;-)
The largest achondrite main mass is the Norton County aubrite at 2360 =
pounds. It fell on February 18, 1948.
As these are both falls does anyone know what the largest stoney find =
is?
Regards,
Frank

  Dear List...
      I read that the main mass has been found and was enroute to =
someone. Any idea on its size? This also got me to wondering. We know =
the Iron main masses can get pretty large, but, what is the largest =
known main mass of a chondrite?

  Thanks!
