[meteorite-list] Curious - what is the biggest (TKW) Martian Meteorite?

[Rob McCafferty]

Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites states Zagami as the largest TKW at ~18,000g.
Nakhla weighs in at ~10,000g and SaU--8 at 8579g.
Though these data are somewhat old now, I don't think anything rivalling Zagami has arrived since 2001
