Jonathan inquired:

F. ULFF-M¥LLER (1998) Paucity of sulfide in a large slab of Esquel,
New perspectives on pallasite formation (Meteoritics 33-2, 1998, 221):

"Haag reports that the original mass was 680 kg, not 1500 kg as reported
in the British Museum catalog."

But when we discussed this on the List some time ago, O.A.
Turone wrote that the original mass for Esquel was 755 kg.

Best wishes,
