Another way to look at it is by past finds. How about Huckitta!? THE largest pallasite. Actually, the largest stony/iron I think. The main mass is 1411kg but it was found with another tonne of shale fragments. Does this mean it really weighs ~2.4 tonnes??? Looks like the precedent may have

Hi Bernd, Jerry List, NWA 3119 is a great meteorite and one of my favourites! I would have to agree with Bernd's comments that it is probably a type-3 (breccia?). The problem is that it seems to be a fairly heterogenous meteorite which probably makes classification very type specimen dependent.
