the tkw is just recored as ">100 kg" - otherwise i pretty much have to agree 
with greg - the rarity of a metoeirte is not entierly dependant upon it's 
tkw

after all there is what - nearly 1100 kg of norton county and i consider 
myself lucky to have a 200g piece of it. heck not even haag can brag about 
having a piece thats even 1 'measly' kg...
