Hey listers.
This made me think of something.. Is the TKW of ordinary chondrites that has been recovered so far, still less than that of irons? (someone could give an estimate?) With such massive amounts of iron meteorites that are known - I'm reconsidering my stance on the notion that irons are "rarer" than ordinary chondrites?

Unclassified meteorites are like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get!

Is there any CV larger then the largest Allende?
It has the most total weight by far, but I'm not sure about a single stone.
NWA 2697 was a single stone weighing 9.42 kg.
