Thanks. According to Dr. Ehlmann the largest single Dimmitt was 8.9 kg, followed by 3.74kg, 3.46kg, and 2.35kg. These were the pieces cataloged by the Glenn Huss. I have a 6.7kg stone that may turn out to be a Dimmitt, sold by Monning to a collector in the 50's. We will see.

Hi Matt and List, Grady's COM lists the following large masses or quantities in collections - TCU - 130kg University of California - 6.644kg University of New Mexico - 2.71kg Max Planck Inst - 11.3kg I'm not sure which of those are single masses and which represent a total of pieces. BTW - I agree about Dimmitt. It's one of the most interesting Texas meteorites (that is commonly seen).
