Hello Melanie,
The few largest stony meteorites yet found are:
1) The Jilin meteorite from China. It weighs 1,770 kg.
2) Norton County, from New Mexico, USA, which weighs 1,073 kg.
After these two, the list gets a little confused with large stones
that were found fragmented, etc. I'd have added them, but my mind
drifted to Carancas and I had no idea where to put it...
Regards,
Jason
