Good morning Matt and List!
"But it is not a CR2; it is classified as an anomalous carbonaceous
chondrite of the CR clan. I think I have a winner at 2.445 kg."
Congrats Matt!
Maybe not a "gold medal" but a "silver medal" for sure. The type specimen
for the CR2 clan, Renazzo, is the "winner". The largest mass found, according
to the info in the "Blue Book" is a piece weighing 5 kilograms:
"After the appearance of light, followed by three detonations, several stones fell,
of which three were recovered, the largest weighing about 5 kg, total 10 kg ..."
