Thanks Eric for the very succinct explanation. It puts to bed pretty much every issue about this amazing stone:
1. The mass was 1015 g, minus very small chips that could not have totalled anywhere near 250 grams. The 1278 g figure is erroneous. At best it is the weight of some other totally unrelated Moroccan meteorite. 2. Mike purchased NWA 482 in Morocco on behalf of many investors. 3. The Hupes provided the largest fractional share of investment capital, and thus received the main mass -- roughly 30% of the meteorite.
