That had to have made a helluva thump when it hit.....Surprised it didn't make a deeper hole...or a crater.

Weighing the big ones like this and compairing them to others has always been confusing it seems. 2nd or 4th is kkind of irrelevant in my book.  Still amazing... Cheers, John A.

Amazing find but I'm confused. This new find is 34 tons. El Chaco weighs in at 37 tons and Hoba has them beat at 66. I missing a metric conversion in reference to El Chaco?
