Not sure if it's reliable or not, but a quick web search seems to come up with lots of
hits for the Greensburg, KS pallasite as the top piece, at 1000 pounds.
Here's a link to the Big Well site where it's housed, but the link on their page to
the actual meteorite appears to be broken.

it's remarkable that in the classical How HaH 285 the metal grains are all

Greetings,
If were talking the largest intact pallasite then Huckitta at 1400 kg would
be it (though heavily oxidized) but Esquel when found was 1500 kg making it
the largest ever found. The Brenham isn't the largest pallasite.
Of course if Port Orford is ever found and assuming it is truly a

Hi Al
According to 5th Ed Catalogue of Meteorites the Esquel Pallasite main mass
did weigh 1500 kg but that is a mistake. It actually weighed closer to 1500 lb.
or about 680 kg. In fact there is a reference I mention in A to Z from
Meteoritics and Planetary Sciences supporting this weight:
I just happened to be talking to Bob Haag yesterday about esquel and he said that
esquel was originally about 1500 pounds. A chunk had been cut off so what he
received was about 560 kg. That matches the 2 sources Bernd just listed.
