Hi List, MikeG and Jason,
yes,i agree with Jason.
Maybe even 40 tons more realistic.
Yes, all the pieces found so far are from the surface of the desert.
All pieces are found in the soil will no longer be so beautiful.
These will be completely rusty.
@MikeG:
Also a Iron ungrouped can be a ataxite!
Looks to Chinga or Tishomingo.
Both meteorites are ataxites and also Iron ungrouped.
And by Gebel Kamil you can read under classification:
Classification: (M. D’Orazio, DST-PI; Luigi Folco, MNA-SI) Iron meteorite
(ungrouped), Ni-rich ataxite, extensive shear deformation and low weathering.
