Re: [meteorite-list] Named masses
Hi Jeff, Would Sylacauga count? There is the Hodges 3.86 kg mass and the McKinney 1.68 kg mass. How about these 2 Canyon Diablos: The Holsinger 639 kg mass and the Verkamp 242 kg mass now at the Lowell Observatory.

Re: [meteorite-list] Named masses [29Palms (1955) = Pinto Mtns]
Hi Jeff, Thanks for making this list and for making it available. By the way, the 19kg main mass of the Pinto Mountains (L6) meteorite is also known as, Twentynine Palms (1955): The Meteorites of California by Derek Sears and Robert Verish http://meteoritemag.uark.edu/back%20issues/months/2011%20Aug.htm With best regards, Bob V. --- On Sat, 9/24/11, Jeff Grossman jngross...@gmail.com wrote: From: Jeff Grossman jngross...@gmail.com Subject: [meteorite-list] Named masses To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Date: Saturday, September 24, 2011, 2:12 PM All, I'm compiling a list of all meteorites that have named masses.

Re: [meteorite-list] Named masses
Hi Jeff, One that easily comes to mind is the Ring or Basket iron of Canyon Diablo. Mass weighs 49 pounds.
