Possibly the  greatest understatement ever  seen in the annals (anal, 
too!) of meteorite communication....


Would someone translate this pedantic prose of mine to the person asking 
this question?

 If he would actually study more than parasitically post, he'd likely 
understand, after 6 years in the hobby, that the "TKW" for this material 
will likely never be calculated as this is a portion of a huge fall 
already in the books so to speak.  It also does not pertain the material 
available in institutions/collections for study or statistical 
analysis.  Ergo-- asking "how much of this slicated material was found" 
or " how much is available to hack up" or "In what size object was this 
silicated material discovered ?"are more honest and  germane ways of 
phrasing the question.  Otherwise, someone(s) might get the impression 
that someone else is clueless.

This application of TWK is another bastardization of  scientifically 
significant data right up there with...(ahem) "Main Mass".
They are not inventions for collectors to brag about, IMHO.

P.S.  Google is your friend
P.P.S. Can anyone still be classified as a rookie after 6-7 years in the 
major league?
