Hi All, Now, even *if* you take these 521 tons at face value, one must be careful. Most of these 500+ tons come from a maximum value for the estimated total mass of the Canyon Diablo meteoroid. These 521 tons are based on a total mass of 300,000-400,000 tons as estimated by Shoemaker and Roddy in 1995. 30 years before, in 1963, Gene had assumed a mass of "only" 63,000 tons.
