Hi Jeff, One that easily comes to mind is the "Ring" or "Basket" iron of Canyon Diablo. Mass weighs 49 pounds.

The two well-known examples are Cape York and Campo del Cielo, which each have many large pieces that are known by informal names, e.g., Ahnighito (CY) and El Patio (CdC). How many others can people come up with? This is a crowdsourcing exercise for the MetBull database, where I'd like to keep track of such names. I already have a long list of synonyms, but most of these are not the names of masses; they are alternate names and spellings for the meteorite itself (if you'd like to scan them to see if you can spot any mass names, here is the long list: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/MetBullSynonyms.php). What I need are: Meteorite name; mass name; weight; source of information; optional descriptive text Thanks to all who can help! Jeff p.s. I think I have most of the CdC and CY names already compiled. ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
